Upload file with URLs
TXT, CSV, XLSX, DOCX — URLs extracted automatically

Free Disavow File Generator — Build Your Google Disavow.txt
Toxic backlinks from spammy sites, link farms, or shady directories can harm your site's credibility with Google. If you have received a manual penalty for unnatural links — or if a professional backlink audit reveals a large number of clearly harmful links you cannot get removed — submitting a disavow file to Google Search Console is the last resort. This free Disavow File Generator formats your list of URLs and domains into the exact disavow.txt format required by Google, ready to download and submit.
Paste the toxic URLs or domains you want to disavow (one per line), add optional comments to document your reasoning, and the tool generates a properly formatted disavow.txt with domain: directives and # comment lines. Download and upload directly to Google Search Console's Disavow Links tool.
Warning: Use the disavow tool carefully. Disavowing good links by mistake can negatively impact your rankings. Only disavow links you are confident are genuinely harmful and that you have already attempted to remove through outreach.
Disavow File Best Practices
Prefer domain-level directives. Use domain:spam.example instead of individual URLs when a whole domain is toxic. This is more efficient and future-proof than listing individual pages.
Document your reasoning. Add # comments explaining why each domain is disavowed. This creates an audit trail and helps if you ever need to review your disavow file.
Keep a backup. Save your disavow file somewhere safe. If you ever need to update it, you must resubmit the complete file — Google replaces the previous submission entirely.
Check first. Before disavowing, verify links in Google Search Console's Links report. Only disavow links Google has actually discovered — disavowing undiscovered links is pointless.
