Htaccess Redirect Generator

About This Tool

Look, I get it—dealing with .htaccess files isn’t exactly thrilling. But when you need to redirect URLs, especially after a site move or a page rename, it’s one of those things you just have to do. That’s where an Htaccess Redirect Generator comes in. It’s not flashy, but it saves you from typing out messy rewrite rules by hand and hoping you didn’t miss a slash or forget the [L] flag. This tool basically takes what you want to redirect and where you want it to go, then spits out the correct Apache directive. No guesswork. No trial and error. Just copy, paste, and test.

Key Features

• Generates clean, working redirect rules for 301 (permanent) and 302 (temporary) redirects.
• Supports both simple path redirects and regex-based pattern matching.
• Outputs ready-to-use code you can drop directly into your .htaccess file.
• Explains what each part of the rule does—so you’re not just copying blindly.
• Works with query strings, so you don’t lose URL parameters during the redirect.
• Free, no signup, no tracking. Just a straightforward tool for developers who’ve seen one too many 404s.

FAQ

Do I need to know Apache to use this?
Nope. You don’t need to be an Apache wizard. Just tell it the old URL and the new one, pick your redirect type, and it handles the rest. That said, knowing a bit about how .htaccess works helps when debugging—but the tool keeps it simple.

Will this work on any hosting?
Mostly yes—if your server runs Apache and allows .htaccess overrides (which most shared hosts do). Just make sure mod_rewrite is enabled. If you’re on Nginx or another server, this won’t help. You’ll need server config changes instead.
