What this tool does
Assemble a starter robots.txt file for standard admin, search, and preview exclusions.
Use this when you need a clean robots.txt starting point instead of editing directives from scratch.
It keeps the common allow/disallow structure visible while you build.
Where this tool earns its place
Draft conservative disallow rules for staging areas, dashboards, previews, and internal search pages before deployment.
Add the canonical sitemap URL to the generated file so compliant crawlers can discover the preferred URL inventory.
Create a readable robots.txt draft that SEO, engineering, and platform teams can inspect before it ships.
What to check before relying on the result
- Performance and maximum practical input size depend on browser memory, device speed, and the structure of the input.
- Review the generated result before replacing or publishing an original file.
Open a nearby browser tool when you need to validate, convert, or reuse the result.

Tips & Tricks
- 01Robots.txt is not a deindexing tool
Disallow can stop crawling, but already indexed pages may remain visible. Use noindex or removal workflows for deindexing decisions.
- 02Test broad disallow patterns carefully
A short path rule can block more URLs than intended. Review every generated directive against real site paths before publishing.
FAQ
02Is this enough for every site?
No. It is a starter file that should be reviewed against your routing and crawl policy.
Can I block specific bots by name?
Yes. Set the User-agent field to a specific bot name, or use * to apply rules to all crawlers.
Can I add a sitemap URL to the output?
Yes. The sitemap field adds a Sitemap: directive at the end of the generated file.
