Where do I upload it?

Usually at /sitemap.xml. Then add a Sitemap: line to robots.txt and submit it in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools.

Which URLs should I leave out?

Redirects, noindex pages, error pages and URLs whose canonical points elsewhere. List only the version you want indexed.

How many URLs can one file hold?

Up to 50,000 URLs or 50 MB uncompressed. Split larger sites into several files and list them in a sitemap index.

Yes. Every tool is free with no signup.

Do you store what I enter?

Browser tools never leave your device. Live tools fetch the URL you enter and don’t save the result.

How is this different from the site audit?

This tool checks one thing in depth. The site audit checks everything at once and scores SEO, AI Search and Agent Readiness.

Turn a list of URLs into a sitemap

Paste your URLs, add real last-modified dates where you have them, and get a valid XML sitemap to upload.

Free, no signup.

URLs, one per line. Optional last-modified date after a | (YYYY-MM-DD)

Example result: example input

sitemap.xml (3 URLs)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
  <url>
    <loc>https://example.com/</loc>
    <lastmod>2026-09-12</lastmod>
  </url>
  <url>
    <loc>https://example.com/about</loc>
    <lastmod>2026-03-02</lastmod>
  </url>
  <url>
    <loc>https://example.com/pricing</loc>
  </url>
</urlset>

Only add lastmod when it is the real date the content last changed. Google uses lastmod only if it is “consistently and verifiably accurate”, and ignores changefreq and priority, so we leave those out.

Why it matters

Helps new and large sites get found

A sitemap lists the URLs you want crawled. It matters most when a site is new, large or thinly linked.

Accurate lastmod gets used

Google uses lastmod only when it’s “consistently and verifiably accurate”. The generator drops anything that isn’t a valid past date.

No noise

Google ignores changefreq and priority, so we leave them out.

What it checks

Valid URLs

Only lines starting with http:// or https:// are included.

Escaping

Ampersands and angle brackets in URLs are escaped for XML.

lastmod

Added only for YYYY-MM-DD dates that aren’t in the future. Bad dates are counted and skipped.

Sitemap protocol

A urlset in the sitemaps.org 0.9 namespace.
