Where does the file go?

Save it as sitemap.xml in your site root so it lives at https://yoursite.com/sitemap.xml, reference it in robots.txt with a Sitemap: line, and submit that URL under Sitemaps in Google Search Console.

Is there a URL limit?

The protocol allows up to 50,000 URLs and 50 MB uncompressed per sitemap. Beyond that, split into multiple sitemaps and list them in a sitemap index file.

Is my URL list uploaded?

No. The sitemap is generated in your browser, so your list of URLs never leaves your device.

XML Sitemap Generator — Build a Sitemap from URLs

Paste a list of URLs and get a valid XML sitemap you can upload and submit to Google Search Console. Manual, no-crawl version. Runs in your browser, free.

Your files never leave your device.

URLs (one per line)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
  <url>
    <loc>https://example.com/</loc>
    <changefreq>weekly</changefreq>
    <priority>0.8</priority>
  </url>
  <url>
    <loc>https://example.com/about</loc>
    <changefreq>weekly</changefreq>
    <priority>0.8</priority>
  </url>
</urlset>

Paste your page URLs — one per line — and get back a valid sitemap.xml built to the sitemaps.org schema, ready to save and submit to Google Search Console or Bing Webmaster Tools. This is the manual, list-driven builder: you decide exactly which URLs go in.

This is the list version, not the crawler

This tool builds the sitemap from the URLs you paste, so you control precisely which pages are included. The separate crawler-based generator instead visits your live site, follows links, and discovers URLs automatically. Use this one when you already have your list; use the crawler when you want the tool to find the pages for you.

A sitemap doesn't boost rankings on its own — it helps search engines discover pages, which matters most for new sites or pages that aren't well linked internally. Ranking still comes down to content and relevance.

What one entry looks like

Each URL is wrapped in a <url> block. lastmod is optional; only add real modification dates, since crawlers may ignore dates that look unreliable.

<url>

<loc>https://example.com/blog/my-post</loc>

</url>

How to use it

Paste your page URLs, one per line.
Generate the sitemap; add optional lastmod dates if you have accurate ones.
Save sitemap.xml to your site root, add a Sitemap: line to robots.txt, and submit the URL in Search Console.
