XML Sitemap Generator

Paste a list of URLs and get a valid sitemap.xml, with optional last-modified dates.

Your URLs

One full URL per line

Lines starting with # are ignored. Include only pages you want indexed.

Last modified date (optional)

Only add a date if it is true for every page. Search engines use it when it is accurate, so leave it out rather than guess.

Your sitemap.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
<url>
<loc>https://example.com/</loc>
</url>
<url>
<loc>https://example.com/blog/how-to-write-a-meta-description</loc>
</url>
<url>
<loc>https://example.com/pricing</loc>
</url>
</urlset>

3 URLs

Put the file at the root of your site, add a Sitemap: line to your robots.txt, and submit it in Google Search Console.

How to use it

Paste your URLs, one per line, and get a valid sitemap.xml. Duplicates are removed, anything that isn't a full web address is flagged, and special characters are escaped so the file stays valid.

Before you submit it

List only pages you want indexed: canonical addresses that return a normal page, not redirects, errors or noindex pages.
Add the last modified date only if it's true. Search engines use it when it's accurate and learn to ignore it when it isn't.
Put the file at the root of your site and add Sitemap: https://example.com/sitemap.xml to your robots.txt.
Submit it in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools.

Limits

A single sitemap can hold up to 50,000 URLs (and 50 MB uncompressed). Bigger sites use a sitemap index that points to several sitemaps, for example one for each kind of page.

Does a sitemap guarantee indexing?

No. It helps search engines find your pages; whether they index them depends on quality and other signals.
