How to generate a robots.txt file

  1. Enter a user-agent (or leave as * for all crawlers).
  2. List any paths to disallow or allow.
  3. Optionally add a crawl-delay and sitemap URL.
  4. Copy or download the result.

How this works

The generator builds standard robots.txt syntax directly from the fields you fill in — nothing is uploaded, and no server-side processing is involved.

Common use cases

  • Create a robots.txt file for a new website
  • Block search engine crawlers from specific paths
  • Add a sitemap reference to an existing robots.txt

Frequently asked questions

Is this robots.txt generator free?

Yes. It is completely free, with no signup and no limits.

Where do I put the generated file?

Save it as robots.txt and upload it to the root directory of your website (e.g. yoursite.com/robots.txt).

What does "Disallow: /" do?

It blocks the specified user-agent from crawling your entire site — use the "Block all" preset for this.

Do I need a robots.txt file?

It's optional, but recommended for controlling how search engines crawl your site and for pointing crawlers to your sitemap.

Can I have different rules for different crawlers?

This tool generates rules for one user-agent at a time; copy the output and repeat with a different user-agent to add more blocks.
