What is Slug Generator?
A URL Slug Generator is a tool that converts plain text (like a blog post title) into a URL-friendly format known as a 'slug'. A slug is the part of a URL that identifies a specific page in a human-readable way. This tool automatically converts text to lowercase, removes special characters (like !, @, #), and replaces spaces with hyphens. This ensures that your URLs are clean, readable, and optimized for search engines (SEO).

What is a slug?
It's the end part of a URL (like /my-cool-post). It tells Google and people what the page is about.
Why use hyphens instead of underscores?
Google prefers hyphens. It reads 'my-post' as 'my post'. It reads 'my_post' as 'mypost'. Hyphens are better for SEO.
Does it handle foreign characters?
Yes! I turn 'café' into 'cafe'. I try to keep the URL readable for everyone.
Does it remove stop words?
I keep all your words to be safe. You can delete 'the' or 'and' manually if you want a shorter URL.
Is there a maximum length?
I don't limit you, but for SEO, try to keep it under 60 characters so it doesn't get cut off in search results.
Can I use this for file names?
Yes! These slugs are perfect for file names because they have no spaces or weird symbols.
Does it preserve numbers?
Yes. 'Top 10 Tips' becomes 'top-10-tips'.
Is the process reversible?
No. Once I remove the special characters and uppercase letters, I can't put them back exactly how they were.
