Paste one absolute URL per line, or switch to XML validation. Run manually so large lists are checked only when you are ready.
Your URLs and XML stay in this browser tab. No page or sitemap URL is fetched.
One absolute URL per line. Optional real lastmod: URL, a tab, then YYYY-MM-DD. Exact duplicates are counted and removed.
Paste a URL list or XML, or load the example.
A deployment export gives you the page URLs but no sitemap.xml. This XML sitemap generator turns that exact list into a protocol-ready file, while keeping malformed or off-site addresses visible for correction instead of silently dropping them. It also works as a sitemap validator for XML you already have.
Before publishing, use the sitemap.xml checker to inspect a pasted urlset or sitemap index. A split sitemap needs the public directory where every part will be hosted; the index cannot point to imaginary relative files.
Check the list you have, and receive every file your site must host.
The XML sitemap generator retains input line numbers for invalid addresses, mixed origins and exact duplicates. A bad row blocks export, while a duplicate is counted and removed openly. A valid URL list never quietly shrinks.
When either limit is reached, complete URL entries move into numbered parts. The sitemap index uses the public directory you provide to form absolute links, and the ZIP contains the index plus every part. Nothing is submitted to a search engine automatically.
Use one absolute HTTP or HTTPS URL per line. If you know a page's real modification day, put a tab and YYYY-MM-DD after that URL; leaving it blank omits lastmod. The tool does not guess a protocol, canonical URL or date.
A single sitemap needs no directory setting. If the list crosses 50,000 URLs or 50 MiB, enter the real directory URL ending in /. Its path must cover the page URLs, or the generated index would not be deployable there.
Look at the per-file count and byte size, or switch to XML validation for an existing file. Ctrl/Cmd+Enter runs either task. A green local check does not verify HTTP access, robots rules or indexing; inspect those after hosting.
Each accepted URL becomes an escaped <loc> inside a UTF-8 urlset. Optional per-page dates are checked before a <lastmod> is emitted. No generation-time date, changefreq or priority is added.
A split sitemap closes a part before it exceeds 50,000 URLs or 52,428,800 uncompressed bytes. The index points to every numbered part using absolute URLs from your public directory, and the ZIP holds the whole set.
The sitemap validator checks XML syntax, namespace, root, required loc, optional field values, duplicate addresses and protocol limits for urlset and sitemapindex. Issues retain source line and column; referenced files are not fetched.
One file can contain at most 50,000 URLs and 50 MiB of uncompressed UTF-8 XML. The XML sitemap generator starts another file when either boundary would be crossed and creates an index for the parts.
Yes. Paste a complete sitemapindex document to check its structure, loc values and limits. Child files named by that index are not fetched or verified, so validate them separately.
A sitemap helps discovery, but does not command indexing. Search engines may reject or ignore pages because of access, duplication, canonical choices or content quality. Use Search Console to inspect a specific page.
Usually no. This local check cannot detect noindex or robots rules, so filter those URLs using site data before pasting the list. It never claims a syntactically valid file is ready for indexing.
Include it only when you know the page's real significant modification date. Put that date after the URL with a tab. Leave it out otherwise; the XML sitemap generator does not stamp today's date across every page.
Need to report an edge case?
Start with the sample URL list, then use the XML sitemap generator on your own canonical URLs. Review diagnostics before downloading every file your site will publish.
