Sitemap XML Generator — Paste URLs, Get sitemap.xml
DeveloperA sitemap XML generator converts a pasted list of URLs (one per line) into an XML sitemap file that follows the Sitemaps protocol.
What is it
An XML sitemap is the standard file that tells search engines which URLs on a site should be indexed, listing one <url> entry per page inside a <urlset>. This tool creates a <loc> entry for every pasted URL and optionally adds <lastmod>, <changefreq>, and <priority>. A single sitemap may contain up to 50,000 URLs and 50MB uncompressed; larger sites must split files and use a sitemap index.
How to use
- 1Paste page URLs, one per line.
- 2Choose the lastmod, changefreq, and priority options.
- 3Download sitemap.xml, upload it to your site, and reference it in robots.txt or Search Console.

FAQ
Is my URL list sent to a server?
No. Sitemap generation happens in your browser; the URL list never leaves your device.
How many URLs fit in one sitemap?
Up to 50,000 URLs and 50MB uncompressed per sitemap file under the Sitemaps protocol. Beyond that, split into multiple files linked by a sitemap index.
Does Google use changefreq and priority?
Google has said it largely ignores changefreq and priority, while lastmod is used when the values are consistently accurate.
