Sitemap Generator – Create an XML Sitemap Online Free
About the Sitemap Generator
The Sitemap Generator creates a properly formatted XML sitemap ready to submit to Google Search Console. Paste a list of URLs directly, or simply enter your domain name and let the tool crawl your homepage to automatically extract internal links, then set a change frequency and priority to generate a complete sitemap.xml file.
This tool is built for website owners and SEOs who need a quick sitemap without a full crawler tool or CMS plugin. Once your sitemap is ready, reference it directly inside your robots.txt file using the Robots.txt Generator, or validate an existing robots.txt file with the Robots.txt Tester and Validator to confirm your sitemap declaration is recognized correctly. If you’re reviewing your site’s URLs before generating a sitemap, our URL List Comparator can help identify missing or extra pages.
Our team tested this tool with manually entered URL lists and live websites to make sure the generated XML follows the standard sitemap format and includes only valid internal URLs.

Example Usage
If you generated your sitemap from a manually prepared list, you can quickly verify that nothing was missed by comparing URL lists with our URL List Comparator.
Input (Domain mode): https://example.com
Output (excerpt):
<url> <loc>https://example.com/about</loc> <lastmod>2026-07-14</lastmod> <changefreq>weekly</changefreq> <priority>0.8</priority> </url>
The tool automatically crawled the homepage, found internal links like “/about”, and formatted each one into a valid sitemap entry with today’s date.
