XML Sitemap Generator

Paste a list of URLs (one per line) to generate a valid XML sitemap. This tool only works with the URLs you provide — it does not crawl or discover pages on your site.

What Is an XML Sitemap?

An XML sitemap is a file listing a site's pages in a standard format, helping search engines discover URLs — especially useful for pages that might not be easy to find through regular links alone.

Why Is It Useful?

It gives search engines a direct, structured list of pages you'd like them to know about, rather than relying entirely on them finding every page by following links.

How to Use It

Paste your URLs, one per line, including the full https:// address. The tool checks each one, flags any issues, removes duplicates, and generates valid sitemap XML you can copy or download.

How to Interpret the Results

Issues are shown above the generated XML — invalid URLs and exact duplicates are excluded from the output automatically, while URLs served over plain HTTP are flagged as worth switching to HTTPS, but are still included.

Common Mistakes

Limitations

This initial version only works with URLs you type or paste in — it does not crawl your website to discover pages automatically. For large sites, you'll need to compile the URL list yourself or export it from your CMS.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a sitemap for a small site?

It's less critical for a small, well-linked site, but it's still a simple, low-cost way to help search engines discover your pages.

Where do I upload the sitemap file?

Typically at the root of your domain (e.g. example.com/sitemap.xml), referenced from your robots.txt file.

Does this tool crawl my website automatically?

Not in this version — you provide the URL list directly. Automatic crawling may be added in a future update.

Why was a URL removed from my list?

Either it wasn't a valid, complete URL, or it was an exact duplicate of another URL already in your list.
