What is a Robots.txt Generator?
This tool builds robots.txt rules for crawler access control and sitemap declaration.
It helps webmasters publish clean crawl directives quickly without syntax mistakes.
How to use
- Choose whether public crawling is allowed.
- Set optional disallowed path patterns.
- Add your sitemap URL.
- Copy generated robots.txt content.
Example usage
Allow global crawling while blocking a private admin area and referencing your sitemap.xml endpoint.
Tips
- Do not block important public pages by accident.
- Always include a sitemap URL for discovery.
- Use robots for crawl hints, not security.
- Re-check directives after route changes.
FAQ

- Can I block one bot and allow others?
- Yes, robots syntax supports per user-agent rules.
