Robots.txt Generator
Build a valid robots.txt file — multiple User-agent groups, Allow/Disallow rules, and Sitemap references — from presets or from scratch. robots.txt is crawler guidance, not a security mechanism, and this tool says so rather than implying otherwise.
robots.txt is crawler guidance, not a security mechanism — a disallowed path is still reachable by anyone with the URL. Don’t rely on it to hide sensitive files.

FAQ
- Does robots.txt keep sensitive files private?
- No — robots.txt is guidance for well-behaved crawlers, not access control. A URL listed under Disallow is still reachable by anyone who has the link; use real authentication for anything that actually needs to stay private.
- Where does the generated file need to go?
- At the root of your domain — https://example.com/robots.txt — for crawlers to find it.
