Robots.txt Generator

What is the Free Robots.txt Generator?

The free Robots.txt Generator builds a valid robots.txt file through a form-based interface — no memorising syntax required. Add rules for any User-agent (use * for all bots), specify Allow and Disallow paths, set a Sitemap URL, and optionally add a Crawl-delay. Add as many rule blocks as needed, then copy or download the finished file.

• → Block search engines from crawling admin, login, or private sections of a website.
• → Allow all bots to crawl the full site with a single permissive rule.
• → Point crawlers to the sitemap.xml file for faster indexation.
• → Set a crawl delay to protect a low-resource server from being overwhelmed.
• → Restrict a specific bot (e.g. GPTBot, CCBot) while allowing Googlebot.

How to Use the Free Robots.txt Generator

1. 1 In the User-agent field, enter the bot name — use * to target all crawlers.
2. 2 In the Allow textarea, enter paths that the bot is permitted to crawl (e.g. / for everything).
3. 3 In the Disallow textarea, enter paths to block (e.g. /admin/, /private/).
4. 4 Add a Sitemap URL (e.g. https://example.com/sitemap.xml) and optionally a Crawl-delay in seconds.
5. 5 Click + Add Rule to add another user-agent block, then copy the output.

Does Disallow: / block Google completely?

Each robots.txt file applies to one domain. Run the generator once per domain and upload the resulting file to each domain's root.
