Free Sitemap Generator
If Google can't find a page, it can't rank it. NToolHub's free Sitemap Generator turns a plain list of URLs into a valid XML sitemap with change frequency, priority and lastmod dates. It's the quick fix for new sites, small businesses and anyone whose CMS doesn't auto-generate sitemaps.
How to Use the Sitemap Generator
- Paste your page URLs, one per line (up to 1000).
- Choose a change frequency and priority.
- Click Generate Sitemap and download sitemap.xml.
- Upload it to your site root and submit it in Google Search Console.
Features
Paste up to 1000 URLs (invalid lines are flagged and skipped), choose changefreq and priority, optionally stamp today's date as lastmod. The tool XML-escapes URLs properly and outputs a downloadable sitemap.xml ready for upload.
Benefits & Use Cases
Sitemaps accelerate discovery of new and updated pages, clarify your site structure, and give you lastmod control that nudges recrawls. For large or new sites with weak internal linking, a sitemap is essential crawl infrastructure.
Tips
Include only canonical, indexable URLs (no redirects, no noindex pages), keep sitemaps under 50,000 URLs / 50MB, and submit the sitemap in Google Search Console plus reference it in robots.txt.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an XML sitemap?
An XML file listing your site's important URLs with metadata (last modified, change frequency, priority) that helps search engines discover and crawl pages efficiently.
How many URLs can a sitemap hold?
Up to 50,000 URLs or 50MB uncompressed. Larger sites split into multiple sitemaps under a sitemap index file.
Should I include noindex or redirect URLs?
No — sitemaps should contain only canonical, indexable (200-status) URLs. Including junk URLs wastes crawl budget and can cause Search Console warnings.
Do I still need a sitemap with good internal links?
Google can crawl well-linked sites without one, but sitemaps still speed up discovery of new content and provide useful metadata. There's no downside to having one.
