Robots.txt Generator

Tell crawlers where they may go. The file is built in your browser and you download it.

Your files stay with you. Your files never leave your browser. This tool runs on your device: nothing is uploaded to our servers, so there is nothing for us to store or see.

How to use it

  1. Choose whether to allow crawling and list any paths to block.
  2. Add your sitemap URL and tick any bots you want to block.
  3. Download robots.txt and upload it to the top level of your site.

Questions people ask

Does robots.txt hide a page from Google?
Not reliably. It asks well-behaved crawlers not to fetch a page, but a blocked page can still be listed if other sites link to it. To keep a page out of results use a noindex tag or password protection.
Where must the file go?
At the root of the site, for example https://example.com/robots.txt. A file in a sub-folder is ignored.
Will blocking AI crawlers work?
It is a request, not a lock. Bots from major AI companies say they follow it, but not every crawler does.
Why does Google ignore my crawl delay?
Google does not support the Crawl-delay line. Bing and some other crawlers do.
