What is Robots.txt Generator?
The Robots.txt Generator builds a valid robots.txt file through a form-based interface. You add User-agent blocks, set Allow and Disallow paths, toggle AI training bots on or off, and attach Sitemap directives. The output updates live as you edit.
Why it matters for SEO: A single wrong Disallow line can hide your best pages from Google. Building rules through a guided form removes the syntax guesswork and lets you review each directive before it ships.
AI Crawler Control: Block training-specific bots (GPTBot, Google-Extended, ClaudeBot, CCBot, Bytespider) while keeping retrieval bots (ChatGPT-User, Claude-SearchBot, PerplexityBot) allowed. One button adds the full set.
Multi-Bot Precision: Give Googlebot broad access, restrict internal tooling paths from Bingbot, block scrapers entirely. Each bot gets its own rule block.
Sitemap Discovery: Attach one or more Sitemap directives so crawlers find your XML sitemaps without depending on Search Console submissions.
How to Use This Tool
- 1 Toggle bots on or off in each group, or use Allow all / Block all per group.
- 2 Add any paths to block from all crawlers in the Disallow paths field.
- 3 Paste your sitemap URL and add extras if needed.
- 4 Copy the live output to your domain root as robots.txt.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about Robots.txt Generator
Add a User-agent block, set Allow and Disallow paths, and copy the output. Upload the file to your domain root (example.com/robots.txt) so crawlers can read it on their next visit.
Use the 'Block AI training bots' button to add Disallow rules for GPTBot, Google-Extended, ClaudeBot, CCBot, and Bytespider. These bots scrape content for model training. Retrieval bots like ChatGPT-User and Claude-SearchBot serve live search results and can stay allowed.
No. Robots.txt controls crawling, not indexing. Search engines can still index a URL they discover through external links even if robots.txt blocks crawling. Use a noindex meta tag or X-Robots-Tag header to prevent indexing.
Yes. A Sitemap directive helps crawlers find your XML sitemap without relying on Search Console alone. Place it at the bottom of the file. You can list multiple sitemaps if your site uses sitemap indexes.
