Robots.txt Generator

Build a valid robots.txt in seconds. Fully client-side. Presets, live preview, validation, and a quick path tester.

1) Configure

Preset mode: Append lets you combine templates (e.g., block AI + allow major search).

Allow everything

Make all content crawlable by any bot.

Block everything

Disallow all bots globally (useful for staging).

Only major search engines

Block others (replace) or just add search bots (append).

Block common AI/data crawlers

Add groups for known AI/data bots and disallow them.

SEO baseline

Allow all, but block noisy system paths (edit as needed).

Block sensitive folders

Keep admin/login/private paths out of indexes.

Groups (User-agent specific rules)

2) Preview & Test

Live


          
Path tester uses a pragmatic match (longest rule wins; details).

Reminder: robots.txt is advisory. It does not secure private content. Use authentication for sensitive areas.

About the Robots.txt Generator

The Robots.txt Generator helps webmasters, SEO specialists, and developers create a clean, valid robots.txt file that controls how search engines and other crawlers access a site. Define user-agent groups, allow or disallow specific paths, set crawl delays, and reference your sitemap — then download a ready-to-deploy file.

Everything runs locally in your browser — your paths and crawler rules never leave your device — so you can iterate on a draft as many times as you need before publishing.

Tips

If your site changes frequently, regenerate the file whenever you add new restricted sections or move your sitemap so crawlers always see an up-to-date set of rules.
