Free Robots.txt Merger — Combine Multiple Robots.txt Files Online
Staging files, old domains, and CMS plugins all leave you with several robots.txt versions floating around. This merger combines them into a single valid file — rules with the same user-agent are grouped together, exact duplicates are removed, and you can strip comments for a clean final file. Everything happens in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
Robots.txt Merger
Merge multiple robots.txt files into one valid, deduped file — right in your browser.
1 Paste your robots.txt files
2 Merge settings
3 Merge & download
✅ Done — your merged robots.txt
How it works
Paste each robots.txt file’s full contents into the boxes above, pick a merge style (or fine-tune the toggles), and hit Merge Files. Rules for the same user-agent are combined into a single block, exact duplicates are dropped, and the result downloads as a clean robots.txt you can upload to your site root.
Rule of thumb: keep only one robots.txt per domain at the root (example.com/robots.txt) — crawlers ignore robots.txt files on subpaths, which is exactly why merging stray versions matters.
Everyday uses
- Site migrations — combine the old domain’s and the staging site’s robots.txt without losing either’s rules.
- WordPress + plugins — SEO plugins each inject their own directives; merge them into one conflict-free file.
- Agency handoffs — consolidate several draft robots.txt files from different teams before launch.
- Audits — dedupe years of accumulated rules into a tidy file you can actually read.
- Subdomain cleanup — merge rules meant for
wwwand bare-domain variants into one canonical file.
