About XML Sitemap Generator
An XML sitemap is a file that lists all the important URLs on your website, helping search engines like Google and Bing discover and crawl your pages efficiently. This free tool lets you create a valid sitemap.xml file instantly — just paste your URLs, configure the options, and download.
The generated file follows the Sitemaps Protocol 0.9 standard, supported by all major search engines. Once downloaded, upload sitemap.xml to the root of your website and submit it in Google Search Console under Sitemaps.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an XML sitemap?+
An XML sitemap is a structured file that tells search engine crawlers which pages exist on your website, when they were last updated, how often they change, and their relative importance. It helps Google and Bing index your site more accurately and efficiently.
Where do I upload the sitemap.xml file?+
Upload sitemap.xml to the root of your website — for example, https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml. Then go to Google Search Console → Sitemaps and submit the URL. Also add this line to your robots.txt: Sitemap: https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml
What should I set for changefreq and priority?+
Changefreq tells crawlers how often a page changes — use "weekly" or "monthly" for most pages, "daily" for blog or news pages, and "yearly" for static pages. Priority is a hint (0.1 to 1.0) about relative importance. Set 1.0 for your homepage, 0.8 for main sections, and 0.5 for regular pages.
How many URLs can a sitemap have?+
The Sitemaps Protocol allows up to 50,000 URLs per file with a maximum uncompressed file size of 50MB. This tool supports up to 500 URLs. For larger sites, create multiple sitemap files and reference them from a sitemap index file.
Does this tool send my URLs to any server?+
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your URLs never leave your device — nothing is uploaded, stored, or transmitted to any server. It is completely private and free to use.
