Robots.txt Generator
Create a valid robots.txt file to control how search engines crawl your site. Free and instant.
User-agent: * Allow: / Disallow: /admin Disallow: /login Disallow: /dashboard Sitemap: https://example.com/sitemap.xml
What is robots.txt?
The robots.txt file lives at the root of your domain and tells search-engine crawlers which paths they may or may not fetch. It's a polite request, not a security control — anything sensitive should be behind auth, not just disallowed.
How to use this generator
- Pick which crawlers the rules apply to (all bots, or a specific user-agent like
Googlebot). - Add Allow and Disallow paths (e.g.
/admin,/cart). - Reference your XML sitemap with a
Sitemap:line. - Copy the output and upload it to
https://yourdomain.com/robots.txt.
Common patterns
Disallow: /underUser-agent: *— blocks the whole site (careful — a common accidental production issue).Disallow: /admin/— hide admin routes from crawlers.Allow: /with a specificDisallow:for a bot — carve out per-crawler behaviour.

FAQs
Will disallowing a URL remove it from Google?
No. Disallowing blocks crawling but not indexing. Use a noindex meta tag or HTTP header to remove pages from the index.
Can I have more than one robots.txt?
No — only one per host, at the root path.
