Free Robots.txt Generator

A robots.txt file tells search engine crawlers which parts of your website they are allowed or not allowed to crawl. It helps manage crawl behavior and protects sensitive or unnecessary pages from being accessed by bots.

Your robots.txt file must be uploaded to the root directory of your domain. It should be accessible at yourdomain.com/robots.txt so search engines can find it automatically.

Not always. Robots.txt controls crawling, not indexing. If a page is blocked but already known to search engines through links, it may still appear in search results without content. To prevent indexing, use meta noindex tags instead.

You can set different rules for specific user-agents. The generator lets you define global rules and then override them for individual bots such as Googlebot or Bingbot.

Crawl-delay tells bots to wait a set amount of time between requests. It can be useful for servers with limited resources, but it is ignored by Google. Use it only if you experience crawl-related performance issues.

Yes. You can disallow folders or specific URL paths by adding them to the Disallow section. All paths must start with a forward slash and match the structure of your URLs.

Yes. You can include multiple sitemap URLs. The tool accepts comma-separated sitemap links and outputs them correctly as separate Sitemap entries.

Blocking all bots will prevent search engines from crawling your site, which can stop new pages from being discovered and harm visibility. This option should only be used for staging or private environments.

Yes. The tool generates a clean, standards-compliant robots.txt file that you can copy or download and upload directly to your site without manual editing.
