🔒 This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to a server.
How the hreflang tag generator works
- Add a language code and its corresponding URL for each localized version of your page.
- Optionally include an x-default fallback tag.
- Copy the generated <link> tags and paste the same full set into the <head> of every page in the group.
FAQ
What does hreflang actually do?
It tells search engines that multiple pages are translated or regional versions of the same content, so they can show the right language or regional version to each searcher instead of treating them as unrelated, potentially duplicate pages.
What language code format should I use?
ISO 639-1 language codes (like "en", "es", "fr"), optionally combined with an ISO 3166-1 region code (like "en-GB" or "en-US") when you need to target a specific country's variant, not just a language generally.
What is x-default for?
It's a special hreflang value marking a fallback page to show visitors whose language or region doesn't match any of your other listed variants — commonly pointed at a language-selector page or your primary/default version.
Where do these tags go?
Each page in the set needs the full group of hreflang tags — including a self-referencing one — placed in its own <head> section. (Hreflang can also be set via HTTP headers or a sitemap, but the <link> tag in <head> is the most common approach.)
