Robots.txt Generator – Free Online Tool
Create robots.txt crawl rules with presets, custom disallow paths, sitemap directives, crawl delay, and AI crawler controls.
Free Robots.txt Generator for Technical SEO
The Robots.txt Generator helps you create crawl instructions for search engines and other bots. Choose a preset, add custom disallow paths, include your sitemap, set crawl delay, and optionally block common AI crawlers.
What Robots.txt Can and Cannot Do
Robots.txt gives crawl instructions, but it is not a security layer. Do not rely on it to hide private content. Use authentication for sensitive pages and use robots.txt to guide crawler behavior.
Best Launch Checklist Pairings
Use the Robots.txt Generator with the Meta Tag Generator, Favicon Generator, UTM Builder, and sitemap setup before launching a new site. Check that important pages are allowed and private paths are protected by real access control.
Private Browser Generation
Site URLs and crawl rules are generated locally. ToolsMint does not store your launch paths, admin paths, or sitemap URLs.
