robots.txt Generator
Build a valid robots.txt file with rules, delays and sitemapA single misplaced Disallow can erase your site from Google, and hand-writing this tiny file in Notepad is a classic way to cause disasters. Build it with a visual form instead: user-agent groups, Allow and Disallow rules, crawl delay and sitemap, with a live preview.

About the robots.txt Generator
Writing robots.txt by hand is error-prone: one wrong slash can block your entire site from search engines or leave admin areas open to crawlers. The robots.txt Generator gives you a visual form where you add user-agent groups, set allow and disallow rules per path, add optional crawl delays, and include your sitemap URL. The file preview updates live as you edit. It is built for site owners, SEOs and developers who need a correct robots.txt without memorizing the syntax. When you are done, copy the output with one click or download it as a .txt file, then upload it to the root of your domain as robots.txt.
Where it helps most
Everyday situations where two careful minutes with this file prevent real damage.
Block admin and login pages
Keep crawlers out of /admin/, cart and login pages so private areas never appear in search results where they do not belong.
Protect staging sites
Hide a staging site with a full site-wide Disallow during development, then remember to remove the rule before launch day arrives.
Slow aggressive crawlers
Add a crawl delay when an aggressive bot strains your server, asking polite crawlers to wait a few seconds between requests.
Point crawlers to sitemap
List your sitemap URL at the end of the file so crawlers discover it directly, without waiting for a Search Console submission.
Building it right
Small habits that keep this high-stakes file correct.
Preview before deploying
Watch the live preview update as you edit, and let the tool flag risky setups before the file ever goes live.
Verify the live file
After uploading, open yourdomain.com/robots.txt in a browser to confirm the live file matches exactly what you built, since caches can serve stale copies.
Never leave staging rules live
A full site-wide Disallow is the correct way to hide staging, and a catastrophe if left in production, so remove it at launch.
robots.txt Generator: private by design
Everything is generated in your browser. No account, no upload, no server copy of your file.
robots.txt Generator FAQs
A robots.txt file sits at your domain root (example.com/robots.txt) and tells search engine crawlers which parts of your site they may or may not visit, using rules grouped by user-agent. Almost every site needs one, even if it only lists the sitemap.
