Free XML Sitemap Generator — For Blogger & Google

Q: Where do I put sitemap.xml?

In the root of your site, so it is reachable at https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml. Then add the line Sitemap: https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml to robots.txt and submit the URL in Google Search Console.

Q: Does Google use priority and changefreq?

No. Google has said it ignores both values. It does use lastmod when the dates are consistently accurate. That is why lastmod is on by default here and the other two are optional.

The problem

Google found your homepage. Not the rest.

A new site has almost no links pointing at it. Crawlers only reach pages they can find a path to — and a sitemap is the shortest path there is.

Pages nobody links to never get indexed

A pricing page reachable only from a footer, a blog post two clicks deep, a landing page with no nav at all. If a crawler cannot follow a link to it, it does not exist.

A sitemap lists every page by name. No link hunting.

Your changes take weeks to show up

Without a hint, Google re-crawls on its own schedule. You fixed the price on Monday; search results still show the old one at the end of the month.

An accurate lastmod tells Google exactly what changed and when.

Every generator wants a login or a limit

Online crawlers stop at 500 pages and want your site live first. Desktop tools want an install. CMS plugins want a CMS. You have a folder of HTML.

Drop the folder’s ZIP above. Works before launch, no cap.

How it works

Folder to sitemap in three steps

STEP 01

Add your pages

Paste URLs one per line, drop the ZIP of your site, or paste your homepage’s HTML and we pull the internal links.

index.html → /
about.html → /about
blog/index.html → /blog/

STEP 02

Set the site address

Type where the site lives — or will live. Paths are resolved against it, duplicates are merged, links to other sites are dropped.

☉

STEP 03

Download and submit

Save sitemap.xml to your site root, add one line to robots.txt, paste the URL into Search Console. Done.

<url>
<loc>https://example.com/about</loc>
<lastmod>2026-09-03</lastmod>
</url>

What Google reads

A sitemap is four tags. Google reads two.

Most generators fill every field because they can. We default to what search engines actually use, and keep the rest optional.

Rules the file has to follow

Absolute URLs only — https://example.com/about, never /about. Same host and protocol as the sitemap itself.
50,000 URLs and 50 MB uncompressed per file. Past that, split into several files and list them in a sitemap index.
UTF-8 and escaped — ampersands in URLs must be written as &. One bad character invalidates the whole file. We escape for you.
lastmod is the one that matters — Google uses it when the dates are consistently accurate, and has said it ignores changefreq and priority. Do not set lastmod to today on every page every day; that trains Google to ignore it.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"> <url> <loc>https://example.com/</loc>required <lastmod>2026-09-03</lastmod>Google uses this <changefreq>weekly</changefreq>ignored <priority>1.0</priority>ignored </url> </urlset>

Hand-built HTML sitesNo CMS, no plugin, just files in a folder.

Docs & course sitesHundreds of pages, one file, no crawl cap.

Local business sitesClinic, shop, coaching centre — five pages that should all rank.

How we compare

A crawler needs a live site. You have a folder.

Crawl-based generators are great once you are launched. Before that — or past their page limit — a file-based generator is faster and free.
