# XML Sitemap Generator

> Paste a list of URLs and get a standards-compliant sitemap.xml with optional changefreq, priority and lastmod.

```yaml
url: "https://ailaunch.dev/tools/sitemap-generator"
slug: sitemap-generator
category: seo
keywords: "xml sitemap generator, sitemap generator, create sitemap xml, sitemap from url list"
```

## How to use

1. **Paste URLs** - One absolute URL per line.
2. **Set optional fields** - changefreq, priority and lastmod.
3. **Download sitemap.xml** - Upload to your site root and reference it in robots.txt.

## No crawl needed

For most small sites, exporting routes from your framework and pasting them is faster and safer than a crawler. Stay under 50,000 URLs per file; larger sites need a sitemap index.

## What you get

- URL list → urlset XML
- Deduplication and validation
- Optional changefreq / priority / lastmod
- Runs in your browser

## FAQ

### Do I need priority and changefreq?

Google ignores both; lastmod is the useful one when it's accurate.
