How Sitemap Generator Works
The tool wraps each URL you provide in a <url> entry following the standard Sitemaps protocol, which search engines like Google and Bing use to discover and crawl your pages. Invalid or malformed lines are skipped rather than breaking the whole file.
How to Use This Tool
- Paste your page URLs, one per line, including the full
https://address. - Choose whether to include a change frequency and today's date as the last-modified value.
- Select Generate sitemap.xml, then download it and upload it to your site's root folder.
Example
Two URLs, https://example.com/ and https://example.com/about/, generate a sitemap with two <url> entries, each wrapping its address in a <loc> tag.
Helpful Tips
- After uploading, reference your sitemap in
robots.txtwith a line likeSitemap: https://example.com/sitemap.xml. - Only include URLs that actually resolve — listing broken or redirecting URLs can waste search engines' crawl budget on your site.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where should I upload sitemap.xml?
In your website's root directory, so it's reachable at yoursite.com/sitemap.xml — that's the conventional location search engines expect.
Do I need to include every page on my site?
Include the pages you want indexed. Very large sites sometimes split sitemaps into multiple files, but for most sites a single file listing all pages works well.
Is my URL list uploaded anywhere?
No, the XML is generated entirely in your browser.
This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your input is not uploaded to any server.
