.htaccess Generator is a free online tool that creates Apache .htaccess configuration files visually. Build redirect rules, force HTTPS, set security headers, enable compression, configure caching, and more — all through an intuitive interface without memorizing Apache directives. The .htaccess file is a powerful Apache configuration file that controls URL rewriting, redirects, security headers, caching policies, access control, and many other server behaviors. Writing .htaccess rules manually is error-prone — a single syntax mistake can take your entire site offline. The tool covers the most common .htaccess use cases: HTTP to HTTPS redirect, www to non-www (or vice versa), custom error pages, browser caching for static assets, GZIP compression, security headers (X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, CSP), hotlink protection, and IP blocking. Everything runs entirely in your browser. There are no usage limits and no account required. Common use cases include setting up HTTPS redirects for new SSL certificates, configuring caching headers for better PageSpeed scores, adding security headers for OWASP compliance, setting up URL rewrites for clean URLs, blocking malicious bots, and optimizing server performance.
