## About

### Migrate URLs without breaking SEO

When you rename pages or move a site, old URLs need redirects so visitors and search engines land on the right place and link equity is preserved. Paste your old→new pairs, one per line, and this tool generates correct redirect rules for your stack — Nginx rewrite directives, Apache .htaccess Redirect lines, a Netlify _redirects file, or a Vercel vercel.json block.

### Choose the right status code

Pick 301 for permanent moves (the default for SEO, telling search engines to transfer ranking) or 302 for temporary ones. The output updates live and shows how many rules you've created. Copy it or download the correctly-named config file. Everything runs locally, so your URL structure stays private.

## FAQ

### What's the difference between a 301 and 302 redirect?

A 301 is permanent and tells search engines to pass ranking to the new URL — use it for moved pages. A 302 is temporary and keeps ranking on the original URL.

### Which servers are supported?

Four formats: Nginx rewrite rules, Apache .htaccess Redirect lines, a Netlify _redirects file, and a Vercel vercel.json redirects block.

### How do I enter my redirects?

Paste them one per line as 'old-path new-path', separated by spaces. The tool parses each line into a rule and shows a live count.

### Is it free?

Yes, completely free with no signup, running entirely in your browser.
