Hreflang tags tell search engines which language or regional version of a page to show searchers in a given locale — essential for sites with multiple language or country versions of the same content. Hand-writing these tags for many language versions is tedious and easy to get subtly wrong.

This generator builds a full set of hreflang tags from a simple list of language codes and their corresponding URLs.

How it works

Add a row for each language or language-region version of the page, with its language code (like "en", "fr", or "en-us") and URL. Use "x-default" as the code for a fallback version if you have one. The tool generates a complete set of alternate link tags.

  1. Add a row for each language (or language-region) version of the page.
  2. Use "x-default" as the language code for the fallback version, if you have one.
  3. Click Generate, then copy the tags into the <head> of every version of the page.

Examples

Two language versions plus a default

English, French, and an x-default fallback each get their own <link rel="alternate" hreflang="..."> tag pointing to their respective URLs.

Who should use it

  • Setting up international SEO for a site with multiple language or regional versions.
  • Quickly regenerating a full hreflang set when adding a new language version.

Industry applications

  • International SEO
  • Web development and localization

Advantages

  • Generates a complete, correctly-formatted tag set in one pass.
  • Supports "x-default" for fallback version targeting.

Limitations

  • Doesn't verify that every version of the page has generated reciprocal tags — that's still on you to implement consistently across all versions.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Adding hreflang tags to only one version of a page instead of reciprocally on every version.
  • Using inconsistent or invalid language/region code formats across different pages.

Best practices

  • Make sure every language version of a page links to all other versions (including itself) with matching hreflang tags — missing reciprocal links is the most common hreflang implementation error.

Tips

  • After publishing, verify your hreflang implementation with Google Search Console's International Targeting report to catch missing reciprocal links.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, with no signup and no limit on how many tag sets you generate.
Yes — hreflang tags should be reciprocal, meaning every version of the page should include the full set of tags pointing to all versions, including itself.
It marks a fallback version to show when none of the other language/region tags match a searcher's settings — commonly used for a language-selector page or a default international version.
Use ISO 639-1 language codes (like "en", "fr"), optionally combined with an ISO 3166-1 region code (like "en-us", "en-gb") for region-specific targeting.
