How to Use the Robots.txt Generator
Configure your robots.txt file using the visual editor above. Select the user-agent, specify paths to disallow or allow, and optionally add your sitemap URL. The generator creates a properly formatted robots.txt file that you can copy and upload to your website's root directory.
What is robots.txt?
A robots.txt file tells search engine crawlers which pages or sections of your site they can or cannot visit. It's placed in the root directory of your website (e.g., example.com/robots.txt) and is one of the first files crawlers check when visiting your site.
Block AI Crawlers
With the rise of AI models training on web content, many site owners want to prevent AI crawlers from accessing their content. Use the "Block AI crawlers" checkbox to automatically add rules for GPTBot (OpenAI), ClaudeBot (Anthropic), Google-Extended (Gemini), and other AI-specific crawlers.
Frequently Asked Questions

Should I block AI crawlers?
It depends on your goals. If you want to prevent AI companies from using your content for training data, you can block crawlers like GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and Google-Extended. This does not affect your regular search engine rankings.

Upload the file to the root directory of your website so it is accessible at yourdomain.com/robots.txt. Most web hosts allow you to upload files via FTP, file manager, or your deployment pipeline.
