How to use

01

Identify which pages or directories you want to hide from search engines.

02

Add a 'Disallow' rule for those paths (e.g., /admin, /private).

03

Use 'Allow' to override a disallow rule for a specific file or subfolder.

04

Download the file and upload it to your website's root folder.

Important Tips

Use / to disallow the entire site, or /admin/ to disallow a specific directory. The * wildcard can be used in paths like /*.pdf to block all PDF files.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our Robots.txt Generator tool.

Where should I place the robots.txt file?

Does robots.txt guarantee privacy?
