About Slug Generator
The Slug Generator is a simple utility for web developers, bloggers, and SEO specialists. It transforms human-readable titles (like “How to Bake a Cake!”) into URL-friendly formats (like how-to-bake-a-cake). A “slug” is the part of a URL that identifies a specific page in a readable format.
Example

- Step 4: Copy the result and paste it into your CMS (WordPress, Ghost, etc.) or HTML file.
Who needs it?
This tool is essential for Content Managers and Webmasters. Clean URLs are a ranking factor for Google and make links easier to share on social media. After creating your slug, you might want to visualize how the full link looks in search results using the SERP Snippet Preview.
Why use this tool?
Manually editing URLs to remove spaces, capitalization, and special characters (like ?, !, &) is tedious and prone to error. This tool ensures your URLs are compliant with web standards (RFC 3986). If you are building a site structure, you might also find the Random String Generator useful for creating unique IDs, or the URL Encode/Decode tool for handling complex query parameters.
