Robots.txt Generator
Write a correct robots.txt without memorising the syntax.
Paths to block (one per line, prefix with ! to allow)
Sitemap URL
Crawl delay (seconds, 0 = none)
robots.txt
Ad space · belowTool · horizontal
How it works
Each path becomes a Disallow line under a wildcard user-agent, paths prefixed with an exclamation mark become Allow overrides, and the sitemap reference is appended at the end where crawlers expect it.
Frequently asked questions
Does robots.txt hide a page from Google?
No. It stops crawling, not indexing — use a noindex meta tag to keep a page out of results.
Where does the file go?
At the root of the domain, exactly at /robots.txt; crawlers do not look anywhere else.
