How to Remove File Extension from a Website Address

How can I remove file extension from a website address?

Just add an .htaccess file to the root folder of your site (for example, /home/domains/domain.example/htdocs/) with the following content:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php

More about how this works in these pages: mod_rewrite guide (introduction, using it), reference documentation

Removing File Extensions from URL

Keep this inside the .htaccess file for removing .html extension from the url.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.html [NC,L]

Removing the file extension from URLs, like .php or .html

Add this line to your .htaccess file:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]

Removing file extension AND file name from URL

Seeing as your server uses nginx as a server, and not apache:

i think this should work:

index index.html index.php;
location / {
rewrite ^/(.*)index\.(php|html?)$ /$1 redirect;
}

That should be added to your nginx config

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]

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?

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>
