Create a robots.txt file visually.

Robots.txt Generator is a free online tool to create a robots.txt file visually. It runs entirely in your browser, so your files never leave your device — nothing is uploaded. There's no sign-up, no watermark, and it works on any modern browser on desktop or mobile.

How to use Robots.txt Generator

The robots.txt generator helps you build a valid robots.txt file visually instead of writing the syntax by hand. Choose which crawlers to allow or block, list the paths you want disallowed and add your sitemap, then copy or download the finished file. It is free, requires no sign-up and works right in your browser.

  1. 1Select which user agents to target, such as all crawlers or a specific bot.
  2. 2Add the paths you want to disallow or allow, and include your sitemap URL.
  3. 3Copy or download the generated robots.txt and upload it to your site root.

Valid syntax

Builds correctly formatted directives so you avoid typos that crawlers ignore.

Per-crawler rules

Set allow and disallow rules for all bots or for individual user agents.

Copy or download

Export the finished file instantly and drop it at the root of your domain.

Block your WordPress admin and login

Keep crawlers out of your wp-admin and login directories so they spend crawl budget on real content instead of dashboard pages. Pick allow-all as the default, then add Disallow rules for /wp-admin/ and similar paths. Leave /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php reachable so Google can still render pages that depend on it, and download the finished file.

Stop bots crawling internal search and filters

Faceted filters and on-site search create endless parameter URLs that waste crawl budget and bloat the index with near-duplicates. Use the generator to disallow paths like /search and /?s= or your filter parameters, so crawlers skip those dead ends. Build the rules visually, confirm you have not blocked real category pages, then copy the output to your site root.

Add your sitemap so Google finds every page

A robots.txt is the first file crawlers fetch, making it the ideal place to point them at your XML sitemap. Enter your full sitemap URL, such as yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml, and the tool writes the correct Sitemap directive for you. Combine it with allow-all crawling so search engines can discover and queue all your URLs efficiently, then download the file.

Robots.txt Generator — frequently asked questions

Where does the robots.txt file go?

It must live at the root of your domain, for example example.com/robots.txt. Crawlers only look in that exact location, so placing it in a subfolder has no effect.

Does Disallow keep a page out of Google?

Not reliably. Disallow stops crawling, but a blocked URL can still be indexed if other pages link to it. To keep a page out of results, use a noindex tag instead of only blocking it.

Should I add my sitemap to robots.txt?

Yes, listing your sitemap URL helps search engines discover all your important pages. You can include a Sitemap line in the file even while disallowing specific paths.
