What this tool does
Build a robots.txt file without remembering the syntax. Choose a preset, add disallow and allow rules, set a sitemap URL, and copy the finished file.
How to use it
Start with a preset such as WordPress Default or E-commerce, then adjust. Add paths you want crawlers to skip, add any allow rules that override them, and enter your sitemap URL. Upload the result to the root of your site as robots.txt.
Quick example
A typical WordPress file blocks /wp-admin/, allows /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php and ends with a Sitemap line pointing to your sitemap index.
FAQs
Does robots.txt hide a page from Google? No. It asks crawlers not to fetch a page, but a blocked URL can still appear in results. Use a noindex tag to keep a page out.
Is it a security tool? No. Anyone can read it, so never list private paths you want kept secret.
Should I block AI crawlers? That is your call. Blocking them can reduce how often your content is cited.
