Robots.txt Generator

Generate a clean starter robots.txt with user-agent, allow, disallow, and sitemap rules for common SEO setups.

Use this robots.txt generator when you need a readable draft for a launch, migration, staging environment, or client handoff. It keeps the common syntax tidy, but it still expects you to review the rules before uploading them because robots.txt can affect how search engines crawl important sections of a site.

FAQ

Does it cover advanced robots rules?

No. It is designed for common starter patterns, not every advanced directive.

Can robots.txt remove a page from Google?

Not reliably. It can stop crawling, but noindex is the cleaner signal when you want a page kept out of search results.

Can I leave some fields empty?

Yes. Empty fields are skipped from the output.
