XML Sitemap Generator
XML Sitemap Generator
Paste your page addresses, one per line, set a few defaults, and download a valid sitemap.xml for search engines.
An XML Sitemap Generator builds the machine-readable list of your pages that search engines use to discover and revisit your site. A sitemap does not guarantee indexing, but it is the clearest signal you can send about which addresses exist and when they last changed, which matters most for new sites, large sites, and pages that few other pages link to. Blogger and similar platforms generate a sitemap for you automatically, but anyone running a hand-built site, a documentation set, or a collection of landing pages often needs to produce the file themselves, correctly formatted down to the last closing tag.
You paste one address per line and choose the shared settings: how often the pages typically change, a relative priority between zero and one, and whether to stamp each entry with today's date as its last modification time. The generator validates each line, warns you about entries that do not look like full web addresses instead of silently including them, escapes special characters safely, and counts the valid entries so you can compare against your expectations. The output follows the official sitemap protocol exactly, and the download button saves it under the filename search engines expect, ready to upload to your site's root.
How to use
- Collect the full addresses of every page you want listed, including the https at the start.
- Paste them into the box, one complete address on each line.
- Choose a realistic change frequency and priority that you will apply across these pages.
- Optionally include today's date as the last modified stamp for a fresh submission.
- Generate the file, check the valid count and any warnings, then download and upload it as sitemap.xml.
Frequently asked questions
Does submitting a sitemap guarantee my pages will rank?
No. A sitemap helps discovery and crawling; ranking still depends on content quality, relevance, and links. Think of the sitemap as handing the search engine a complete map of your building.
What is the maximum size of a sitemap?
One sitemap file may contain up to fifty thousand addresses and be up to fifty megabytes uncompressed. Beyond that, sites use several sitemap files listed in a sitemap index file. Most small and medium sites never approach the limit; this generator comfortably handles the lists typical of blogs, portfolios, and business sites.
How honest should the change frequency and priority be?
Honest. These fields are hints that search engines largely calibrate against your site's real behaviour. Claiming every page changes daily and deserves priority one teaches crawlers to ignore your hints entirely.
Where do I put the file and tell Google about it?
Upload sitemap.xml to the root of your domain so it sits at yoursite.com/sitemap.xml, add a Sitemap line to your robots.txt file pointing to it, and submit the address in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools. Recheck the console after a few days for fetch errors or discovered-address counts.
