About this tool
Free Sitemap URL Extractor
Use the free WebToolsEdge Sitemap URL Extractor to pull page URLs from an XML sitemap, sitemap index, or sitemap.xml file in seconds. Paste a sitemap URL, extract the <loc> entries, review the URL list, copy everything, or download the results as TXT or CSV for an SEO audit, crawl check, migration review, or content inventory. An XML sitemap helps search engines discover important URLs on a website. It commonly lists pages, posts, tools, products, categories, images, or nested sitemap files. When you are auditing a site, checking whether pages are included in the sitemap, reviewing a migration, or preparing a broken link check, you often need a clean sitemap URL list that can be copied into another workflow. This sitemap URL extractor makes that step faster. The tool works with standard URL sitemaps and sitemap index files. A normal URL sitemap usually contains page URLs inside <url><loc>...</loc></url> entries. A sitemap index usually contains links to other sitemap files inside <sitemap><loc>...</loc></sitemap> entries. The extractor detects both patterns and shows whether the submitted file is a URL sitemap or sitemap index, then lists the URLs it finds. SEO teams can use this XML sitemap extractor to compare sitemap URLs against indexed pages, Search Console exports, crawl data, analytics landing pages, or CMS records. Developers can use it during launches to verify that the generated sitemap includes the expected pages. Site owners can use it to quickly see whether important pages are discoverable from the sitemap without opening the XML file manually. After extracting URLs, you can sort them by original sitemap order, alphabetically, or by domain. Sorting by domain is useful when a sitemap includes multiple hosts, CDN assets, alternate domains, or unexpected URLs. The top domain chips help you spot whether the sitemap contains only the expected domain or includes external URLs that need review. This tool pairs naturally with other SEO tools. After extracting URLs from a sitemap, paste the list into the Broken Link Checker to find pages returning errors or redirects. Use the URL Redirect Checker when a specific sitemap URL points somewhere unexpected. If you are preparing a new site structure, the URL Slug Generator can help create clean page paths before they are added to a sitemap. For safety, the extractor supports public HTTP and HTTPS sitemap URLs only. It blocks localhost, private network addresses, and credential-based URLs. Very large sitemaps are limited for quick online use, so enterprise-scale audits should still use a dedicated crawler. For normal websites, blogs, SaaS pages, and small-to-medium sitemap files, this tool gives you a fast, practical sitemap URL list without installing software.
After extracting sitemap URLs, check them for errors with the Broken Link Checker. If a sitemap URL redirects unexpectedly, inspect the chain with the URL Redirect Checker. For crawl directives and sitemap discovery, create a clean file with the Robots.txt Generator.
