Redirect Map Converter
Our free redirect map converter translates source and target URL pairs into native configuration rules for Nginx, Apache .htaccess, Netlify _redirects, Vercel configuration files, and Cloudflare edge redirects. Designed for web developers, technical SEO managers, and sysadmins, this utility eliminates manual syntax errors across multi-cloud infrastructure. Paste your legacy and destination paths to generate clean, copy-ready configuration blocks formatted specifically for each hosting environment with your choice of 301 permanent or 302 temporary HTTP status codes.

What This Tool Does Not Check
This converter generates standard web server syntax based on provided URL pairs. It does not test whether destination URLs exist, nor does it check web server capacity limits such as Apache RewriteMap memory restrictions or Nginx server_names_hash bucket sizes.

Which web server formats does this converter support?
The tool converts URL pairs simultaneously into Nginx rewrite directives, Apache .htaccess RewriteRule blocks, Netlify _redirects plain-text syntax, Vercel vercel.json redirects arrays, and Cloudflare Pages _redirects file formats.
Should I use 301 or 302 redirects for website migrations?
For permanent website migrations, URL restructurings, and domain consolidations, 301 (Moved Permanently) is the industry standard because it transfers PageRank equity and updates search engine indexes. Use 302 only for temporary maintenance or time-limited promotional rerouting.
How are query parameters handled across different server syntaxes?
Different servers handle query strings differently. Apache requires RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} to match query strings explicitly, whereas Netlify and Vercel pass query parameters automatically unless specifically stripped. Review your server documentation if you need complex parameter regex matching.
Can I paste space-separated, tab-separated, or CSV data?
Yes. The converter automatically recognizes tab-separated columns (copied directly from Google Sheets or Excel), comma-separated values (CSV), and single-space separated pairs.
