What Is an Htaccess Redirect Generator?

An .htaccess redirect generator creates the exact redirect rule syntax Apache servers use to send visitors and search engines from one URL to another — needed when you move a page, change your URL structure, or migrate to a new domain and want to preserve existing SEO value instead of losing it to a broken link.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I use a 301 or 302 redirect?
Use a 301 for permanent moves, since it passes SEO value to the new URL; use a 302 only for genuinely temporary redirects, since it signals the change isn't permanent.

Where do I place the .htaccess file?
In your site's root directory — it only works on Apache servers, not Nginx, which uses a different redirect syntax entirely.

Is this tool free?
Yes, generating redirect rules is completely free.
