Sitemap XML Generator
Generate sitemap.xml for better SEO indexing
About this ToolHow it works, benefits & use casesTap to collapse
The Sitemap XML Generator turns a plain list of URLs into a standards-compliant sitemap.xml. Paste one URL per line and it wraps each in a <url> entry inside a <urlset> declaring the sitemaps.org 0.9 schema, automatically adding a <lastmod> set to today's date, a weekly <changefreq>, and a default <priority> of 0.5 for every page. A live counter shows how many URLs you have entered, blank lines are ignored, and a Load example button drops in a sample set so you can see the output shape immediately. The generated XML reports its line count and downloads as sitemap.xml ready to upload to your site root. Your input list is saved in the browser, and the tool can receive URLs handed off from other tools on the site. A built-in usage guide walks you through submitting the file to Google Search Console and referencing it from robots.txt.
How to Use
- 1Enter your page URLs in the input panel, one per line; the counter shows how many were detected.
- 2Click "Load example" if you want to see the expected format and output first.
- 3Press "Generate sitemap" to build the XML; the output panel shows a line count.
- 4Copy the result or download it as sitemap.xml and place it in your website's root directory.

Enter one full URL per line, for example https://example.com/about. Leading and trailing whitespace is trimmed and empty lines are skipped, so the live counter and the generated XML only reflect the real URLs you entered.
Every URL is given a <lastmod> equal to today's date in YYYY-MM-DD form, a <changefreq> of weekly, and a <priority> of 0.5. These are sensible defaults applied uniformly; the tool does not currently let you set them per URL.
