.htaccess Generator — Build Apache Rules Visually, No Upload

🔒 Runs in your browser

Build a valid .htaccess file by checking the rules you need: HTTPS redirect, .html extension removal, custom 404 page, GZIP compression, browser cache headers, directory listing block, IP access control, and HTTP security headers. The generated file updates live as you toggle rules and fill in values. Copy or download — everything stays in your browser.

How to use this tool

  1. Toggle the rules you need and fill in any custom values.
  2. Review the generated .htaccess code.
  3. Copy and upload the file to your Apache server root.
# Redirect HTTP to HTTPS
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

# Enable GZIP compression
<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
  AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/css text/javascript application/javascript application/json
</IfModule>

# Block directory listing
Options -Indexes

# Security headers
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
  Header always set X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN"
  Header always set X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff"
  Header always set Referrer-Policy "strict-origin-when-cross-origin"
</IfModule>

Generated entirely in your browser. Test in a staging environment before deploying to production.
