Build your robots.txt visually — control which bots can crawl your site.
Robots.txt Generator is a free online tool that builds robots.txt files visually using presets and custom rules. Control which search engine bots can crawl your site, block specific directories, set crawl delays, and specify your sitemap location — all without memorizing the robots.txt syntax. The robots.txt file is the first thing search engine crawlers look for when visiting your website. It tells bots which pages and directories to crawl and which to skip. A properly configured robots.txt prevents indexing of admin panels, API endpoints, duplicate content, and private areas while ensuring your important content is discoverable. The tool includes presets for common platforms like WordPress, Laravel, and static sites, covering typical rules for blocking admin areas, login pages, and internal API routes. You can also create fully custom rules with specific user-agent targeting for Google, Bing, and other crawlers. Everything runs entirely in your browser. There are no usage limits and no account required. Common use cases include configuring robots.txt for new websites, blocking search engines from admin panels and staging environments, preventing duplicate content indexing, setting crawl rate limits for large sites, and optimizing crawl budget by directing bots to important content.
