About This Tool
Why use Sitemap Generator?
Paste your list of URLs, one per line, and this tool builds a valid XML sitemap with a lastmod date for each entry. Save it as sitemap.xml, upload it to your site root and submit it in Google Search Console.
A sitemap helps crawlers discover pages, especially on new sites and pages that are not well linked internally. It does not guarantee indexing, and it is not a substitute for internal links. Include only canonical URLs that return 200 and that you want indexed: redirects, noindex pages and duplicates in a sitemap send mixed signals. One file holds up to 50,000 URLs or 50 MB uncompressed.
Key Benefits
Valid sitemap XML
Correct namespace and structure, so the file is accepted rather than rejected on submission.
lastmod included
Each entry carries a modification date, which helps crawlers prioritise what has changed.
No crawl required
You control exactly which URLs are listed instead of relying on a crawler's output.

Sitemap Generator FAQs
Where should the sitemap file go?
Usually at the site root: https://example.com/sitemap.xml. Reference it in robots.txt with a Sitemap: line and submit it in Search Console.
How many URLs can one sitemap hold?
Up to 50,000 URLs or 50 MB uncompressed. Larger sites split into several files and list them in a sitemap index.
Does a sitemap guarantee indexing?
No. It helps discovery. Whether a page is indexed depends on its quality, its internal links and how the site is assessed overall.
Should every page be in the sitemap?
Only canonical pages that return 200 and that you want indexed. Leave out redirects, noindex pages, duplicates and paginated variants.
