Free Sitemap Generator

Paste your URLs, choose the sitemap type and get valid XML, split into several files with an index if the list is long.

Free, with no sign-up. Fair-use limits apply. Text you paste is processed and not stored. To enforce the limits we keep any domain or address you enter and a scrambled form of your IP address for 30 days, as described in our privacy policy.

Four sitemap types

A standard sitemap lists pages with an optional last-modified date. Image, news and video sitemaps add extra information about media on the page or about news articles, using the fields shown in the menu above the box.

How to use it

Choose the type, then put one entry per line with fields separated by a vertical bar. For a standard sitemap that is the URL and an optional date. Press Generate sitemap and copy the XML into a file named sitemap.xml at the root of your site. Very long lists are split into files of up to 50,000 URLs with an index file.

After you publish it

Add the sitemap address to your robots.txt file with the robots.txt generator, submit it in Google Search Console, and check it with the sitemap validator.
