What is Redirect Map Generator?
A redirect map generator that converts old-to-new URL pairs into ready-to-deploy configuration for nginx, Apache, Netlify, and Vercel, plus generic JSON and CSV formats. Choose a status code, pick a format, and copy the result — all processed locally in your browser.

How to Use the Redirect Map Generator
- Add your redirect pairs: Type each old path and new URL into a row, or paste a whole list into the bulk import box using comma, tab, -> or => separators.
- Pick a status code: Choose 301 or 308 for permanent moves, which is best for SEO, or 302, 303, and 307 for temporary redirects.
- Select the output format: Switch between nginx, Apache .htaccess, Netlify, Vercel, JSON, and CSV. The preview regenerates instantly as you switch.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a redirect map?
A redirect map is a table of old-to-new URL pairs created for a site migration or restructure. Servers and hosts use it to send visitors from removed URLs to their new homes, preserving SEO equity and avoiding 404 errors.
Which redirect status code should I use?
Use 301 or 308 for permanent moves — search engines transfer ranking signals to the new URL. Use 302 or 307 for temporary changes such as maintenance windows, and 303 after form submissions.
How do I import a redirect list from Excel or Google Sheets?
Copy your two columns and paste them into the bulk import box. Pairs can be separated by a comma, tab, -> or =>. Each line becomes one redirect row automatically.
Does this tool upload my URLs anywhere?
No. Every conversion runs locally in your browser and the tool works fully offline. Your migration plan never leaves your machine.
