Free XML sitemap generator for websites
This XML sitemap generator helps you create a sitemap file for your website so search engines can find and understand your most important pages more easily. You can crawl a site automatically or paste URLs manually, then export a valid sitemap.xml file ready for publishing.
It is useful for site owners, SEO teams, developers, agencies, bloggers, and online businesses that want a quick way to build or refresh sitemaps without generating them by hand.
What is an XML sitemap?
An XML sitemap is a structured file that lists important URLs on your website. It can include helpful metadata such as when a page was last updated, how often it changes, and the relative priority of that page compared to others on the site.
While a sitemap does not guarantee indexation, it gives search engines a clearer map of your content and can improve discovery, especially for larger sites, newer sites, or sites with pages that are harder to reach through normal internal links.
Why use a sitemap generator?
A sitemap generator saves time and reduces mistakes. Instead of manually formatting XML or trying to track every indexable page yourself, you can create a standards-compliant sitemap much faster and keep it cleaner.
It can help you:
- collect key URLs in one place
- build a clean sitemap.xml file quickly
- refresh sitemaps after site changes
- support search engine crawling and discovery
- avoid manual formatting errors in XML output
When a sitemap is especially useful
New websites
Help search engines discover pages sooner while your site is still building authority and internal link depth.
Large websites
Keep important content easier to crawl when your site has many pages, categories, or archive structures.
Sites with frequent updates
Refresh search engines with better crawl hints when blog posts, product pages, or content hubs change often.
Technical SEO workflows
Use a sitemap as part of broader SEO checks alongside metadata, schema, robots.txt, and internal linking reviews.
XML sitemap best practices
Do this
- • include only canonical, indexable URLs
- • update lastmod when the page meaningfully changes
- • keep separate sitemaps for very large sites when needed
- • reference your sitemap in robots.txt
Avoid this
- • adding broken or non-indexable URLs
- • listing pages blocked by robots.txt or noindex
- • stuffing duplicate URLs or tracking parameters
- • relying on sitemaps instead of strong internal linking
Crawl mode vs paste mode
Crawl mode is useful when you want to scan a website and gather pages automatically. Paste mode is better when you already know which URLs you want in the sitemap or when you are working with staging environments, local builds, or controlled page lists.
Having both options makes this tool flexible for technical users and non-technical site owners alike.
