Robots.txt Generator

A robots.txt file is a simple text file placed in your website's root directory that tells search engine crawlers which pages they can and cannot access. Search engines like Google, Bing, and others read this file before crawling your site, making it a critical tool for controlling how your content is indexed and discovered online. Whether you want to prevent crawlers from accessing sensitive areas, reduce server load, or protect unpublished content, robots.txt is the standard mechanism for managing crawler access.

This generator lets you build a properly formatted robots.txt file by defining allow and disallow rules for different user agents (crawler types). You can specify which directories or file types should be off-limits, set crawl delays to prevent your server from being overwhelmed, and define a sitemap URL for search engines to reference. Simply select the crawlers you want to target, add the directories or patterns you wish to block, and the tool creates valid syntax ready to copy and deploy to your website's root directory.
