Robots.txt Generator
Build a clean, valid robots.txt file with the right Allow/Disallow rules and sitemap line — copy-paste ready.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Robots.txt Generator really free?
Yes — unlimited use, no signup, no credit card. We built these tools to help you audit sites without paying for a data subscription.
Does this tool store or share the URLs I check?
No. Each check runs live and we don't save your input. We keep a short-lived rate-limit counter (by IP) purely to prevent abuse; it is not linked to your results.
How accurate are the results?
This tool reads live, public data directly from the page or domain you enter — it does not rely on a paid third-party database, so it reflects exactly what is publicly visible right now.
robots.txt is a small but high-stakes file — a single wrong line can accidentally block your whole site from search engines. Writing it by hand is error-prone if you're not sure of the syntax. This tool builds a clean, correctly-formatted robots.txt from simple inputs, including your sitemap reference, so you get a valid file without guessing at the format.
How to Use This Tool
Optionally enter your sitemap URL and any paths you want to block (one per line), keep "allow all other pages" checked, and click Generate. Copy the result into a plain-text file named robots.txt at your site's root.
What This Tool Checks
This generates a robots.txt file from your inputs — it doesn't fetch or analyze an existing one (use the Robots.txt Tester for that). It simply produces correct syntax.
Understanding Your Results
The generated file allows all crawling by default and blocks only the specific paths you listed. The Sitemap line helps search engines find your sitemap. Review the paths you're blocking to make sure you're not accidentally hiding content you want indexed.
SEO Best Practices
Keep robots.txt minimal — only block what genuinely shouldn't be crawled (admin areas, cart/checkout, internal search results). Always include your sitemap URL. After uploading, verify with the Robots.txt Tester that important pages are still allowed.
Example
A typical WordPress robots.txt blocks /wp-admin/ and adds the sitemap line, while allowing everything else — exactly what this generator produces from those inputs.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Don't block resources like CSS or JS folders — Google needs them to render and understand your pages. Don't use robots.txt to hide private data; it's a public file and Disallow doesn't provide security.
