Do I need to install any software to use the .htaccess Generator?

No, the tool runs entirely in your browser; no installation or server-side processing is required.

What happens to the data I enter into the generator?

All processing occurs locally in your browser; RJL.io does not store or transmit any of your input URLs or generated code.

Can I generate redirects for multiple old URLs at once?

Yes, you can add multiple redirect rules using the 'Add' function; each will appear in the final output code.

Is the generated .htaccess code compatible with all web hosts?

The output follows standard Apache .htaccess syntax and is intended for servers that allow .htaccess overrides; verify your host's configuration allows this method.

About this tool

What .htaccess redirection does

The .htaccess Generator on RJL.io is a visual tool that creates Apache configuration directives without requiring users to memorize syntax. It produces ready-to-upload .htaccess files for redirects, rewrites, caching, security headers, and error pages. Being 100% client-side, all processing happens in the browser and no data is sent to a server. The interface includes clearly labeled sections for common tasks such as HTTPS migration, URL canonicalization, performance optimization, security hardening, custom error pages, and access protection, with one-click enable toggles and a final output area that displays the complete generated code. Users can copy or download the result for immediate implementation.
