Search engines use XML sitemaps to discover and prioritise your pages. A well-formed sitemap tells Google which pages exist, how often they change, and which matter most. This tool lets you build a sitemap from scratch by adding URLs one at a time or in bulk, setting per-URL metadata, and downloading the finished sitemap.xml ready to upload to your server or submit to Search Console.

What is the maximum number of URLs in a sitemap?

Google supports up to 50,000 URLs per sitemap file. The tool warns you if you exceed this and advises splitting into multiple sitemaps.

What priority should I set for my homepage?

1.0 is conventional for the homepage; 0.8 for important category pages; 0.5–0.7 for standard content pages.

Does this submit the sitemap to Google?

No — it generates the file for you to download and submit manually via Google Search Console or by placing it at yoursite.com/sitemap.xml.
