Can I generate redirects for multiple URLs at once?

The tool processes one URL pair at a time; each redirect must be generated separately and copied individually into your .htaccess file.

What if my server uses Nginx instead of Apache?

This tool outputs Apache .htaccess directives; Nginx requires different rewrite rules, so you would need to select an alternative generator or manually adapt the code.

Does the tool handle wildcard or pattern-based redirects?

No, it generates simple 301 redirects based on exact old and new URL entries provided by the user.

Is the generated code safe to use on a live website?

Yes, the output is standard 301 redirect syntax that tells search engines the move is permanent, but always test redirects on a staging environment first.

About this tool

What .htaccess redirection does

This online tool generates 301 redirect code for Apache servers. Users enter an old page URL and a new page URL, select the output format as .htaccess, and the tool produces the permanent redirect directive ready to copy into a server configuration file. It supports multiple output languages including HTML, PHP, JavaScript, ASP, and ASP.NET, making the redirect rules portable across different environments. The interface presents clear input fields for the source and destination URLs along with a dropdown to select the desired output language, streamlining the process of creating redirect snippets without manual syntax memorization.
