Robots.txt Generator

Build crawl rules for search engines without accidentally blocking your whole site.

Careful — a wrong robots.txt can knock your site out of Google entirely

A robots.txt file tells search engine bots which parts of your site they're allowed to crawl. A tiny mistake here — one stray Disallow: / line — can block your entire site from Google's crawling with no warning at all. This tool helps you build the right rules without the risk of a typo.

Frequently asked

Questions about the Robots.txt Generator

Does Disallow in robots.txt keep a page out of Google?

Not always — Disallow only blocks crawling, not indexing. If another page links to it, Google can still index the URL (without its content). To truly prevent indexing, use a noindex meta tag instead.

Does every site need a robots.txt?

It's not required — without one, bots assume every page is fair game to crawl. But it's still good practice to have one, if only to point to your sitemap.

Where does this file need to be uploaded?

At your domain root, e.g. yoursite.com/robots.txt — placed in any other folder, bots simply won't find it.

Can I block just one bot (like an AI crawler) but still allow Googlebot?

Yes — create a separate User-agent block for each bot with its own Disallow rules.
