Sitemap Extractor
Enter a domain and get every URL in its sitemap — including gzipped files, sitemap indexes and sitemaps declared in robots.txt. Copy the list or download it as CSV.

What a sitemap extractor does
Enter any domain and this tool returns every URL its sitemap declares, as a copyable list or a CSV download. It reads robots.txt for declared sitemaps first, then probes the common locations (/sitemap.xml, /sitemap_index.xml, /wp-sitemap.xml and friends), follows sitemap index files one level deep, and handles gzipped files — the case that breaks most competing extractors.
When you need every URL from a sitemap
Site migrations — pull the full URL inventory before you move, so you can build a redirect map and verify nothing was left behind afterwards.
Content audits — a sitemap is the site’s own claim about what it publishes. Extract it, drop it in a spreadsheet, and you have the starting checklist for auditing titles, status codes or thin pages.
Crawl seeding — screaming-frog-style tools, custom scrapers and QA scripts all run better from a definitive URL list than from link discovery.
Competitor research — a public sitemap shows how a competitor structures their content and how much of it there is.
When the extractor comes back empty
No sitemap at the usual paths — many sites keep theirs at a custom location and only declare it in robots.txt. We check there first, but a site that declares nothing and uses a non-standard path is invisible to everyone, including search engines. Fix: add a Sitemap: line to robots.txt.
The sitemap is HTML, not XML — an “HTML sitemap” page for visitors is not machine-readable. Generate a real XML sitemap; every mainstream CMS has a plugin or built-in for it.
Gzip served with wrong headers — we detect gzip by content rather than headers, but some tools don’t. Serving .xml.gz with a correct Content-Type saves everyone trouble.
