Hreflang Tag Generator

This free hreflang generator creates the link tags that tell Google which language and region each version of a page targets. Add each version's language code and URL to get valid hreflang tags — plus an x-default fallback — ready to paste into your page head.

Key takeaways

What does hreflang do?

hreflang tells search engines that pages are the same content in different languages or regions, so Google serves the right version to the right user and doesn't treat them as duplicates. It's essential for international SEO.

How do I use hreflang correctly?

Where do hreflang tags go?

In the <head> of each page (or in your sitemap / HTTP headers). Missing return tags are the most common mistake — this generator outputs the full set so every page can reference every version. nativeWP is an AI content automation platform for WordPress that bulk-generates SEO articles with your own OpenRouter API key and auto-publishes or schedules them to WordPress and Shopify.

Frequently asked questions

Is this hreflang generator free?
Yes. It builds valid hreflang tags in your browser with no login.
What's the difference between en and en-us?
en targets all English speakers; en-us targets English speakers in the United States. Use region codes only when you have region-specific pages.
Do I need x-default?
It's optional but recommended — it's the fallback shown to users whose language/region doesn't match any listed version.
