Hreflang Tag Generator

Generate correct hreflang link tags for multi-language or multi-region sites.

How it works: Add one row per language/region variant of the same page. Every page in the set should link to all other pages including itself. Always include an x-default row pointing to your default/fallback page.

How it works

Start getting insights in minutes

Generate hreflang tags for international sites correctly.

01
๐ŸŒ

Add your URL and language pairs

Enter each URL alongside its language code (e.g. en-GB, fr-FR, es-MX). Add as many language/region variants as you have.

02
โš™๏ธ

Generate the full tag set

The tool generates the complete reciprocal hreflang set - every page must reference every other page including itself. It handles this automatically.

03
๐Ÿ“‹

Copy HTML or XML sitemap format

Export as HTML link elements to paste into your page <head>, or as XML to add to your sitemap - whichever implementation method you're using.

Why use it

Everything you need from Hreflang Generator

Generate hreflang tags for international sites correctly.

๐Ÿ”„

Reciprocal linking handled automatically

Hreflang requires every page to reference all other language variants including itself. Doing this manually for dozens of pages is error-prone. The generator does it correctly every time.

๐Ÿ“„

Both HTML and XML sitemap output

Hreflang can be implemented in page HTML or in the XML sitemap. The tool generates both so you can choose based on your CMS setup.

โœ…

Correct language-region code format

The format is precise - 'en-GB' not 'en_GB', 'pt-BR' not 'pt-br'. The generator enforces the correct BCP 47 format so Google reads the tags correctly.

๐ŸŽฏ

x-default handling included

The x-default attribute tells Google which URL to show when no language-specific version matches the user. The generator prompts you to set this correctly.

โš ๏ธ

Validates against common mistakes

Missing self-referencing tags, mismatched language codes, and non-reciprocal links are the most common hreflang errors - the generator flags all of them before you export.

FAQ

Common questions

Hreflang is an HTML attribute used to tell Google which language and region version of a page to show to users in different locales. Without it, Google might show the wrong language version to international users.
