Sitemap: https://your-site.com/sitemap.xmlA sitemap is the file search engines read to discover every page on your site. This generator builds standard sitemaps, image sitemaps (image:image namespace), hreflang sitemaps for multi-language sites (xhtml:link), and sitemap-index files for sites over 50,000 URLs. Each URL can carry per-entry priority, changefreq, lastmod, alternate-language URLs, and a list of associated images.
Most generators only emit the basic format. We support image and hreflang namespaces, the sitemap-index protocol, bulk URL import, per-URL customization, and validation against the protocol's 50K-URL limit. Everything runs in your browser. Your URL list never leaves the page.
xml-sitemaps.com free tier caps at 500 URLs and pushes a paid plan. We support up to the protocol limit (50K) and beyond via sitemap-index.
Most generators only emit standard. Multi-language and image-rich sites need the namespaces; we ship them by default.
Set priority + changefreq per URL, not as a global default. Critical for ecommerce sites where category pages should outrank tag pages.
Your URL list reveals site structure. We never see it. xml-sitemaps.com sends every URL to their server for processing.

Yes. Unlimited URLs (up to the 50,000 protocol limit per sitemap), no signup, no daily cap. Generation runs in your browser. xml-sitemaps.com caps free tier at 500 URLs and ads; we don't.
50,000 URLs and 50MB uncompressed per sitemap, per the protocol. For larger sites, build multiple sitemaps and a sitemap-index that references them. Our generator emits a warning when you cross 50K and offers the index format.
Yes. Each URL entry has an Images field. We emit the proper image:image namespace block per Google's image sitemap spec. Video sitemaps are on the roadmap (different namespace, different fields).
Hreflang tells search engines which language and country variant of a page to show to which users. If your site has /en/, /es/, /fr/ URL variants, hreflang prevents Google from showing the wrong one in search. Each entry can have N alternates with code (e.g. en-US, es-MX, x-default).
Two ways. First, add the sitemap URL to your robots.txt: 'Sitemap: https://example.com/sitemap.xml'. Second, submit it directly in Google Search Console under Indexing > Sitemaps. Bing has the same flow in Bing Webmaster Tools.
Google ignores priority in practice, but it's still part of the spec. Convention: 1.0 for homepage, 0.8 for top-level sections, 0.6 for articles, 0.4 for tag/archive pages. The relative ranking matters more than the absolute number.
Less than people think. Google says they treat it as a hint, not a directive. Crawl frequency is mostly determined by how often the page actually changes (lastmod) and your site's overall crawl budget. Set changefreq honestly; don't game it.
Yes. Paste a newline-separated list of URLs in the bulk-import field. They become individual entries with your default priority + changefreq. You can then tune any of them per-URL.
Yes. The whole tool runs in your browser. Your URLs, lastmod dates, image lists never leave the page. We don't have a server endpoint.
Build each sub-sitemap separately (e.g. blog, products, categories), upload them to your domain, then use the Sitemap Index tab to reference all of them in one master sitemap-index file. Submit only the index URL to Search Console.
3 formats, image and hreflang built-in, sitemap-index for large sites. Free unlimited.
