# Free 301 Redirect Generator

> Enter an old path and a new URL. Copy host-ready snippets for a permanent (301) or temporary (302) redirect.

```yaml
url: "https://www.scrolllaunch.com/tools/redirect-generator"
slug: redirect-generator
category: onpage
keywords: "301 redirect generator, htaccess redirect generator, 302 redirect generator, nginx redirect generator, vercel redirect"
```

## How to use

1. **Enter from and to** - Old path (or URL) and the destination URL.
2. **Choose 301 or 302** - Permanent vs temporary.
3. **Copy and deploy** - Paste the snippet for your host, then test with the redirect checker.

## How to generate a 301 redirect

Use 301 when a URL has moved for good so crawlers consolidate signals. Use 302 for a short-lived test or maintenance path.

Pick the snippet that matches how you host: next.config or vercel.json on this stack, Nginx/Apache on a VPS, _redirects on Netlify or Cloudflare Pages.

Always verify the live chain after deploy. A generator cannot see a CDN rule that overrides your file.

## What you get

- 301 and 302
- Apache, Nginx, Vercel, Next.js
- Netlify and Cloudflare _redirects
- Runs in the browser
