HTML Link Generator
Build a standard HTML anchor tag from a URL and some link text, with a live preview and the option to add rel=nofollow.
How to use it
- Fill in the fields — the code and the preview update as you type.
- Copy the generated HTML straight into your page.
- The preview renders the real markup, so what you see is what you get.
Examples
| example.com + “Visit us” | <a href="…">Visit us</a> |
The anchor tag, <a>, is the element that makes the web a web — it is what turns a piece of text into something a browser will navigate to when clicked. The href attribute holds the destination, and the text between the opening and closing tags is what the visitor actually sees and clicks.
This generator builds the tag from a URL and some link text, so you get correctly quoted, correctly escaped markup rather than something typed by hand and easy to get subtly wrong — a stray unescaped ampersand in a URL, for instance, is invalid HTML even though browsers usually forgive it.
rel=nofollow, and when it belongs
Ticking nofollow adds rel="nofollow" to the tag, which tells search engines not to pass ranking signal through that link. It does not stop people clicking it, and it does not hide it — it only affects how search engines weigh it.
The right places for it are links you do not vouch for: paid placements, links inside comments or forum posts submitted by other people, and affiliate links. Do not add it to your own internal navigation or to links you are happy to endorse — that just throws away ranking signal for no reason.
Questions people ask
What does rel=nofollow do?
It tells search engines not to pass ranking credit through the link. Use it for paid, untrusted or user-submitted links — not for ordinary internal ones.
Is anything uploaded?
No. Everything runs in your browser — no file, image or snippet you use here ever leaves your device.
