sitemap.xml Builder (From URL List)

Have a list of URLs and need a sitemap.xml? Paste them, configure defaults (priority, changefreq, lastmod), and get a valid sitemap ready to upload to your web root.

How to use the sitemap.xml Builder (From URL List)

Paste your URLs, one per line. Set a default priority and change frequency, and choose whether to stamp today's date as lastmod. The valid sitemap.xml generates below — copy it or download the file and upload it to your web root, then declare it in robots.txt.

Turning a URL list into a sitemap

A sitemap.xml helps search engines discover and prioritize your pages, but its format — the XML namespace, the <url> and <loc> wrapping, the optional priority, changefreq, and lastmod elements — is tedious to hand-write and easy to malform.

Paste a plain list of URLs here and the builder wraps each one into a valid sitemap with the defaults you choose, ready to upload to your web root. Once it's live, declare it in your crawl file with the robots.txt generator, and confirm individual pages are indexable with the noindex tester.

Common use cases

  • Quick sitemaps — turn an exported URL list into valid XML.
  • Static sites — generate a sitemap without a build plugin.
  • Migrations — rebuild a sitemap from a list of new URLs.
  • Priority hints — set default priority and change frequency.
  • Search submission — produce a file ready for Search Console.

Frequently asked questions

What do priority and changefreq do?
They hint how important a URL is relative to others and how often it changes. Search engines treat them as suggestions, not commands.

Should I include lastmod?
It helps crawlers detect changes. The tool can stamp today's date; for accuracy, use each page's real last-modified date where you can.

Where does the file go?
Upload it to your web root and reference it from robots.txt so crawlers can find it.

Is there a URL limit?
A single sitemap allows up to 50,000 URLs. Beyond that, split into multiple files behind a sitemap index.
