About Apache .htaccess Generator

The .htaccessfile is Apache's per-directory configuration file. It lets you set redirects, authentication, custom error pages, URL rewriting, compression, and cache headers without modifying the main server config. This generator produces rules using mod_rewrite, mod_deflate, and mod_expires — all standard Apache modules.

Private & free — this tool runs entirely in your browser.
