About This Tool
The Visual robots.txt Generator enables webmasters, digital marketers, and software engineers to create standardized, error-free robots.txt files for search engines and web crawlers.
### Crawler Directives & AI Scraper Controls The interactive builder structures robots.txt syntax into intuitive controls: - Default Crawl Policy: Choose between permissive (Allow all) or restrictive (Disallow all) baseline access for the universal wildcard User-agent: *. - Disallowed Paths: Specify private subdirectories, cart checkout flows, internal staging routes, and admin consoles (e.g., /admin/, /checkout/, /api/) to preserve server crawl budgets. - AI Bot Governance: Toggle dedicated Disallow rules for AI training crawlers including OpenAI GPTBot, Anthropic Claude-Web, Common Crawl CCBot, and PerplexityBot. - Crawl Delay & Sitemap Linking: Add crawl-delay directives to throttle aggressive bot traffic on shared hosting, and append your canonical XML sitemap URL for indexing.
### Worked Example Configuration - Default Policy: Allow All (User-agent: *) - Disallow Directories: /admin/, /internal-api/, /checkout/ - AI Crawler Rules: Disallow GPTBot and CCBot - Sitemap Directive: https://example.com/sitemap.xml - Generated Directives: User-agent: *\nDisallow: /admin/\nDisallow: /internal-api/\nDisallow: /checkout/\n\nUser-agent: GPTBot\nDisallow: /\n\nUser-agent: CCBot\nDisallow: /\n\nSitemap: https://example.com/sitemap.xml
### Private Client-Side Generation All robots.txt rules compile locally inside your browser memory. No URLs, domain names, or directory paths are uploaded to external tracking servers.
How to Use
- 1
Choose your baseline crawl policy for general search engines (Allow or Disallow).
- 2
Enter any private directory paths you want to exclude from indexing (one per line).
- 3
Toggle permissions for commercial AI scrapers like GPTBot, CCBot, and Claude-Web.
- 4
Provide your XML sitemap URL and download your finished robots.txt file or copy it to your clipboard.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where should the generated robots.txt file be uploaded?
Place the robots.txt file directly in the public root directory of your domain (e.g., https://example.com/robots.txt) so web crawlers can discover it before spidering site pages.
Does robots.txt guarantee that private pages remain hidden from search engines?
No. The robots exclusion protocol instructs compliant web crawlers not to visit paths, but does not prevent indexing if other sites link to the URL. Use password authentication or noindex meta tags for sensitive content.
Are my domain names or private paths transmitted across the network?
No. The generator runs 100% client-side in your web browser.
