Frequently asked questions

Yes. Robots.txt Tester is completely free with no account, no trial and no usage cap. Every feature on this page is available on the first visit.
Does Robots.txt Tester upload your file to a server?
No. Robots.txt Tester processes your file inside your browser, so it never reaches a DocTools server. That also means the tool keeps working if your connection drops mid-task.
Is there a limit on how much input I can use?
Robots.txt Tester handles inputs into the megabytes without trouble; the only real limit is how much your browser tab can hold in memory.
Do I need to install anything to use Robots.txt Tester?
No installation is needed. Robots.txt Tester runs in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, on desktop and on mobile, with no extension or plugin.
Can I use Robots.txt Tester on a phone or tablet?
Yes. The Robots.txt Tester interface adapts to small screens and supports touch input, though very large jobs are faster on a desktop browser.
What happens to your file when I close the tab?
It is discarded. Robots.txt Tester keeps everything in temporary browser memory, so closing the tab removes every trace of the session.
