Is Robots.txt Generator free to use?

Yes. Robots.txt Generator is free, has no usage cap and does not require an account. There is no paid tier that unlocks extra output.

Does my data get uploaded to a server?

No. The tool is a JavaScript function that runs inside your browser tab. Nothing you paste or drop in is transmitted, logged or stored by us.

Do I need to create an account?

No account, no email address and no sign-in. Open the page and start working.

Does it work on a phone or tablet?

Yes. The interface is responsive and works in mobile Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox and Samsung Internet. You can also install Toolspea as an app from the browser menu.

Can I use the output commercially?

Yes. You keep every right you already had over the input, and we claim nothing over the output.

Where does robots.txt go?

At the root of the domain, exactly at https://example.com/robots.txt. Crawlers do not look anywhere else, and a file in a subdirectory has no effect.

Does disallow remove a page from Google?

No. It stops the page being fetched, but the URL can still appear if it is linked from elsewhere. To remove a page from results, allow crawling and serve a noindex directive.

Is robots.txt enforceable?

It is a voluntary standard. Major search engines respect it; scrapers and malicious bots ignore it. Anything sensitive needs authentication, not a crawl directive.

Should I list my sitemap in robots.txt?

It helps, and costs one line. Submitting the sitemap in Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools remains the more reliable route.

What is Robots.txt Generator?

Robots.txt Generator produces the plain-text file at the root of a site that tells crawlers which paths they may request. You choose which user agents to address, which directories to disallow, and which sitemap to advertise, and the tool outputs a syntactically valid file.

How to use it

1List the paths that should not be crawled, one per line.
2Choose whether the rules apply to all crawlers or a specific one.
3Add your sitemap URL so crawlers can find it.
4Save the output as robots.txt at the root of your domain.

Features

Valid directive syntax with grouped user-agent blocks
Sitemap declaration appended in the correct position
Explicit full-site block for staging environments

When people use it

Keeping private areas out of crawl budget

Dashboards, account pages and checkout flows have no search value. Disallowing them focuses crawling on pages that do.

Protecting a staging site

A staging domain indexed alongside production creates duplicates. Block it fully — and add HTTP authentication as well, since robots.txt is only a request.

Known limits

robots.txt controls crawling, not indexing. A disallowed URL can still be listed if other sites link to it; use a noindex meta tag on pages that must stay out of results.
Never block CSS or JavaScript that pages need to render, or search engines will see a broken layout.
