Google Disavow File Builder: Clean GSC Formatted .txt Generator
Format toxic backlink exports into clean, de-duplicated Google Search Console disavow files with domain-level directives.
Google Disavow File Builder
Turns a pasted list of URLs or domains into the .txt format Search Console expects (domain: lines, URLs, # comments).
A domain: line already covers every subdomain of that domain in Google's tool. Collapsing helps de-duplicate (blog.spam.com and shop.spam.com become spam.com). It uses a short list of multi-part endings such as .co.uk, so verify unusual domains by hand.
# Paste URLs on the left
What this tool does and who it is for
This tool turns a pasted list of URLs and domains into a disavow file in the format Search Console accepts: domain: lines, optional exact URLs and # comments. Duplicates are removed and unusable lines are listed.
You choose whole domains or exact URLs, and whether to collapse subdomains to the root domain. A domain: line already covers every subdomain in Google's tool.
