How to Remove .Html from Url

How to remove .html from URL?

Thanks for your replies. I have already solved my problem. Suppose I have my pages under http://www.yoursite.com/html, the following .htaccess rules apply.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /html/(.*).html\ HTTP/
   RewriteRule .* http://localhost/html/%1 [R=301,L]

   RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /html/(.*)\ HTTP/
   RewriteRule .* %1.html [L]
</IfModule>

how to remove the url extension

try create .htaccess file on your root folder then paste this

#remove html file extension-e.g. https://example.com/file.html will become https://example.com/file
RewriteEngine on 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.html [NC,L]

you can read more about this here https://www.plothost.com/kb/how-to-remove-php-html-extensions-with-htaccess/

EDIT

Since you are using Vercel.com, as per their documentation there's a file config named vercel.json you can add this

{
  "cleanUrls": true
}

the docs said,

When set to true, all HTML files and Serverless Functions will have their extension removed. When visiting a path that ends with the extension, a 308 response will redirect the client to the extensionless path.

for more information pls read their docs here https://vercel.com/docs/configuration#project/clean-urls

How to remove .html from URL and redirect when the html will be accessed directly

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5}|/)$

Answer is YES, they will work, if you edit .htaccess to hide the extension.
