1. What is the Robots.txt Generator?

The robots.txt file sits at the root of your website and tells crawlers which areas they may visit. Use it to keep admin pages, carts and search results out of crawls, to point bots to your sitemap, and to opt out of AI training crawlers. Upload the file to https://yoursite.com/robots.txt.

2. How to use the Robots.txt Generator

Here is the whole process, step by step. It takes less than a minute from opening the tool to seeing your result.

1Fill in the Default for all robots, Disallow these paths (one per line), Sitemap URL, Crawl-delay (seconds, optional) fields.
2Copy or download your result with the buttons under the output.

Your result updates as you type — there is nothing to press and nothing to wait for.

Everything runs in your browser — your files and text never leave your device.

3. What you can do with it

Save your result with the "Copy code", "Download robots.txt" buttons under the tool.

4. Tips for best results

Your text never leaves your device — The tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing is uploaded, so you can paste private documents without worry. That also means there is no account to create and no file to upload.
It works on your phone too — Open the tool in any modern browser on Android or iPhone. The layout adjusts to the screen and everything works the same way on a small screen as on a desktop.
Save your result before you leave — Use the "Copy code" button to keep a copy.

Frequently asked questions

Does robots.txt hide pages from Google?

It stops crawling, but a blocked page can still appear in results if other sites link to it. To remove a page from Google, use a noindex meta tag instead.

Is the Robots.txt Generator free?

Yes. The Robots.txt Generator on Apex Tool Station is 100% free with no signup and no watermark. Browser tools have no usage limits.

Are my files or data uploaded to a server?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your files and text never leave your device, which makes it safe for private documents.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. The tool works on any modern browser on Android, iPhone, Windows, Mac and Linux.
