Robots.txt Generator
Create valid, SEO-friendly robots.txt files with custom search engine directives, disallow rules, and sitemap paths.
Overview
Build clean, search-engine-ready robots.txt files to control how Googlebot, Bingbot, and other crawlers index your website. A properly configured robots.txt file protects private admin directories, preserves crawl budget on low-value pages, and ensures search engines discover your dynamic XML sitemap quickly.
This generator provides an interactive rule builder where you can choose specific search robots, specify disallowed and allowed directories, define crawl delays, and preview the generated file in real time before downloading it.
Key Features
- Search Engine Targeting — Set rules for all robots (*) or target specific crawlers like Googlebot, Bingbot, Baiduspider, or Yandex.
- Path Rule Builder — Easily add and remove Disallow and Allow path directives with instant syntax verification.
- Sitemap Directive — Point web crawlers directly to your XML sitemap URL for rapid page discovery.
- Crawl Delay Control — Set crawl delays for heavy sites to prevent server overloads during web spidering.
- Download or Copy — Download the file directly as robots.txt or copy the syntax directly to your clipboard.
