Hreflang Generator
The hreflang generator creates correct hreflang tags for multilingual and multi region websites. Tell Google which language and regional version of a page to show each user, and avoid the duplicate content and targeting problems that hurt international SEO.
Hreflang Generator
Use the live hreflang generator below. Your data stays in your browser.
Add one row per language/region version of the page. The tag set updates live as you edit.
The fallback page shown when no language/region matches — often your language selector or default-language page.
Place these inside each <url> element of your XML sitemap (with xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" declared on <urlset>).
Privacy by design: the tags are generated in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to a server, stored, or shared.

A realistic example
Example hreflang tags output
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://example.com/"> <link rel="alternate" hreflang="en-gb" href="https://example.com/uk/"> <link rel="alternate" hreflang="ar" href="https://example.com/ar/"> <link rel="alternate" hreflang="x-default" href="https://example.com/">
Common mistakes
Every version must link back to the others. One way hreflang is ignored by Google.
undefined
Use valid ISO codes. A typo like en-uk instead of en-gb breaks the tag.
undefined
Region without language, such as gb alone, is invalid. Pair language with region.
undefined
Without x-default, users who match no version may land on the wrong page.
undefined
Every hreflang URL must return a live 200 page, not a redirect or 404.
undefined
Do not declare hreflang in both the head and the sitemap with different data.
