Build a production-ready .htaccess file — redirects, HTTPS, WWW handling, security headers, GZIP/caching, custom error pages, hotlink protection and more — all through simple toggles, no Apache knowledge needed.
.htaccess Generator builds a complete Apache configuration file without touching a single line of code. Whether you need to force HTTPS, set up redirects, add security headers, or enable browser caching, this tool handles all the syntax for you. Just toggle the options you want, and the htaccess generator outputs a production-ready .htaccess file that works immediately on your server. It’s a practical Apache config builder for anyone who wants to manage their site’s server behavior without memorizing Apache directives.

One-click copy to clipboard
Direct download as a .htaccess file
Open each section and toggle the options you need, from HTTPS enforcement to caching rules.
Click "Add Redirect" and enter the old path and new destination for any URL you need to forward.
Fill in the paths to your custom 404, 403, or 500 pages if you have them ready.
Hit the "Generate .htaccess" button and watch your configuration appear in the output panel.
Use the Copy button to grab the code or Download to save the .htaccess file directly.
“How do I get a working .htaccess file without learning Apache?” — Just pick your settings, generate, and upload the file to your server root.
Every option maps directly to the correct Apache syntax. You never have to remember or type a single directive.
Toggle security headers, sensitive file blocking, and hotlink protection without researching the correct Apache syntax.
The output is plain text that you can copy, paste, or download and upload directly to your Apache server.
The generated file includes proper formatting, logical ordering, and conflict prevention so it works the first time you upload it.
From redirects to caching to error pages, every major .htaccess feature is available in one interface.
Add as many redirect rules as you need, each with its own status code, without editing multiple files.
Start simple — Enable only what you actually need. Adding every option at once makes debugging harder if something doesn’t work after deployment.
Test redirects first — Add one custom redirect at a time and test it before adding more. This makes it easier to spot issues with path syntax or rule conflicts.
Check the warning box — Pay attention when you see a warning about combining trailing slash settings with WWW redirects — this can create extra redirect hops that slow down your site.
The .htaccess Generator works by translating your interface selections into Apache directives in real time. Each checkbox, dropdown, and input maps to specific server configuration rules — HTTPS enforcement triggers a RewriteCond and RewriteRule, HSTS adds a header directive, and GZIP compression enables mod_deflate. This tool organizes these rules in the appropriate order, adds Rewrite Engine On when necessary, and categorizes related directives by their function. When you select Generate, the program consolidates all of the components into a single file that Apache may immediately parse.
It’s a configuration file used by Apache web servers that controls directory-level settings like redirects, security, and caching.
