Sitemap URL Extractor

Enter a sitemap.xml URL and get every listed URL back, ready to copy.

Frequently asked questions

Why would I need to extract URLs from my own sitemap?

Common uses: auditing which pages a sitemap actually lists versus what you expect, feeding a URL list into another tool like a bulk broken-link check, or verifying a CMS-generated sitemap doesn't include pages that should be excluded.

Does this work with sitemap index files that link to multiple sub-sitemaps?

It extracts URLs from the sitemap file you provide directly — if your site uses a sitemap index that references several sub-sitemaps, you may need to run each sub-sitemap URL through separately.

Can I use the extracted list to check for broken links?

Yes — pairing this tool's output with the Broken Link Checker is a practical way to audit a site's overall link health without a full crawler.

Does a large sitemap slow down the extraction?

Larger sitemaps take a bit longer to fetch and parse, but the tool is built to handle typical site-scale sitemaps without issue.
