How do I generate a sitemap.xml file for my website?

Short answer

Use a free sitemap XML generator that turns your list of page URLs into a valid sitemap.xml in the browser. Paste in your URLs, copy the generated XML, and upload it to your site root so search engines can find your pages. It needs no account and nothing is uploaded.

What a sitemap does

A sitemap.xml is a file that lists the URLs on your site so search engines can discover and crawl them more reliably. It is especially useful for newer sites or pages that are not linked from many places. A generator turns a plain list of URLs into the exact XML structure search engines expect.

Generated locally

The tool builds the XML in your browser from the URLs you paste, so your page list is never sent anywhere. You get a ready-to-save sitemap.xml that you place at your site root and can reference from your robots.txt, and you can regenerate it whenever you add pages, with no sign-up and no limit.

Step by step

  1. Open the generator. Open the sitemap XML generator in your browser.
  2. Paste your URLs. Enter the list of page URLs you want in the sitemap.
  3. Save the sitemap. Copy the generated XML into a sitemap.xml file at your site root.
