Free Hreflang Tag Generator
Build correct hreflang tags for multi-language and multi-region sites, with language and country pickers. Free, no signup, runs in your browser.
Place these in the <head> of each language version. Runs in your browser — enable JavaScript to use it.
How to use the hreflang generator
- Add a row per language/region, pick the language (and country if relevant), and paste that version's URL.
- Add an x-default for users you have not explicitly targeted.
- Copy the tags into the
<head>of every alternate page — including a self-referential tag on each.
What hreflang does and the rule people miss
hreflang tells Google which language and region each version of a page targets, so the right version ranks for the right audience and you avoid duplicate-content confusion across markets. The rule most people get wrong is reciprocity: every page in the set must reference every other version — including itself — or Google ignores the annotations. This tool builds the tag set; just make sure each page carries the full set.
Frequently asked questions
What is hreflang?
hreflang is an HTML attribute that tells search engines which language and region a page targets, so they show the right version to the right user — for example a UK English page to UK searchers and a Spanish page to Spanish searchers.
Where do hreflang tags go?
In the <head> of each page (this tool outputs that format), or in your XML sitemap or HTTP headers. Use one method consistently.
Do hreflang tags need to be reciprocal?
Yes. If page A points to page B with hreflang, page B must point back to A — and each page should include a self-referential hreflang tag. Missing return tags are the most common hreflang mistake.
What is x-default?
The x-default value marks the fallback page for users whose language/region you have not explicitly targeted — often a language selector or your main international page.
Is this tool free and private?
Yes. It builds the tags entirely in your browser — nothing is sent to a server — and it is free with no signup.
