Free XML Sitemap Generator
A sitemap.xml file lists every page you want search engines to know about, in the exact XML structure defined by the sitemaps.org protocol — a <code><urlset></code> containing one <code><url></code> entry per page, each with a <code><loc></code> (the URL), and optionally a <code><lastmod></code> date, a <code><changefreq></code> hint and a <code><priority></code> value. Paste your list of page URLs, one per line, set a last-modified date and default changefreq/priority, and this tool builds a real, spec-valid sitemap.xml instantly.
Every URL is checked as it's added: it must be a well-formed absolute URL starting with http:// or https://, since relative paths are not valid in a sitemap. Invalid lines are flagged clearly so you can fix them before downloading, rather than shipping a broken sitemap to Google Search Console.

Tips for the best results
- List only canonical, indexable URLs — don't include pages blocked by robots.txt or marked noindex, since that sends search engines conflicting signals.
- A single sitemap file is limited to 50,000 URLs by the protocol; split larger sites into multiple sitemap files with a sitemap index if you exceed that.
- Priority is a relative hint between your own pages (0.0-1.0), not a promise of ranking — most sites can leave it at a flat default without any real SEO cost.
- After uploading, submit the sitemap URL in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools so it's actually crawled.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Including non-canonical, redirecting or 404 URLs in the sitemap, which wastes crawl budget and can trigger Search Console errors.
- Using relative paths instead of full absolute URLs — the protocol requires the complete https://... address.
- Setting every priority to 1.0, which defeats the purpose of the field (it's relative, so if everything is highest priority nothing effectively is).

Frequently asked questions
What is a sitemap.xml file for?
It gives search engines a direct list of your pages to help them find and crawl content efficiently, especially pages that are hard to discover through internal links alone.
Is priority in a sitemap a ranking factor?
No — Google has stated priority is treated only as a weak relative hint between your own pages, not a ranking signal.
What's the maximum sitemap size?
50,000 URLs or 50MB uncompressed per sitemap file, per the sitemaps.org protocol; larger sites use multiple sitemap files listed in a sitemap index file.
Do I need a separate sitemap for images or news?
Those use specialized sitemap extensions with additional tags; this tool generates the standard page sitemap format used for regular pages.
Where do I upload the file?
Typically to your site's root directory (e.g. https://example.com/sitemap.xml), then submit that URL in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools.
Is my URL list sent anywhere?
No, the XML is built entirely in your browser.
