Canonical Tag Generator
Duplicate or near-duplicate URLs split your ranking signals. The canonical tag tells Google which version is the original. This tool writes the tag in one step, exactly as it should appear in your page head.

Frequently asked questions
When do I need a canonical?
When the same content is reachable at several URLs — with and without www, with tracking parameters, or HTTP and HTTPS versions.
Should every page have one?
Yes, self-referencing canonicals on normal pages are good practice and most CMS platforms add them automatically.
Is a canonical a hard rule for Google?
It is a strong hint, not a directive. Fix duplicate content properly rather than relying on canonicals alone.
