XML Sitemap Generator
Turn a list of URLs into a standards-shaped XML sitemap with changefreq and priority.
What is XML Sitemap Generator?
An XML sitemap lists the URLs you want crawlers to discover. It does not guarantee indexing, but it helps search engines find new or deep pages faster. This generator turns one URL per line into a urlset document with loc, changefreq, and priority fields, then lets you download sitemap.xml. Generation runs in your browser from the list you paste—ideal for small sites, staging lists, or exports from a spreadsheet. Large sites still need sitemap index files when approaching the 50,000 URL protocol cap. After uploading, reference the file in robots.txt and submit it in Google Search Console.
Use cases
- You launched a 20-page brochure site and need a sitemap.xml without installing a CMS plugin.
- You exported URLs from a spreadsheet and want a quick XML file for Search Console.
- You are staging a migration and want a temporary sitemap of the new URL list for QA.
- You need matching changefreq/priority values across a hand-maintained URL set.
How to use XML Sitemap Generator
- Open the XML Sitemap Generator on www.it3.it.com/tools/xml-sitemap-generator/.
- Paste one absolute URL per line.
- Set changefreq and priority, then click Generate sitemap.
- Click Download to save sitemap.xml and upload it to your site (usually at /sitemap.xml).
Example
Input: https://example.com/ https://example.com/about
Output: <urlset>…<loc>https://example.com/</loc><changefreq>weekly</changefreq><priority>0.8</priority>…
Each line becomes a <url> entry with your selected changefreq and priority.
Why use it3’s XML Sitemap Generator?
Create a sitemap free without signup. URLs stay in your browser while XML is built, and you can download the file immediately. Add the sitemap line in it3’s Robots.txt Generator next.
Tips
Common mistake: setting lastmod or priority to “always max” on every URL. Inflated signals get ignored—only list real public 200 URLs.

Frequently asked questions
What if I have more than 50,000 URLs?
Split into multiple sitemap files and a sitemap index. This tool is best for smaller lists you can paste comfortably.
Does priority guarantee rankings?
No. Priority is a hint only. Strong content and links matter far more.
Should I include admin or thank-you pages?
Generally no. Only include indexable public URLs that return 200 with unique content.
Does this create image or news sitemaps?
No. Those need different XML namespaces. Use a specialized generator or CMS plugin.
Are my URLs uploaded to it3?
Generation runs in your browser from the text you paste. Download the XML and host it on your own domain.
