Generate an image sitemap

An image sitemap lists the images on each page of your site so search engines can discover and index images they might otherwise miss, such as those loaded by scripts or served from a different domain. This generator builds a valid XML image sitemap from a simple list where each line pairs a page URL with its image URLs. The output uses the standard sitemap format with the Google image namespace, ready to save and submit.

Each page becomes a url entry containing one image entry per image, exactly as the image sitemap specification requires.

Helping images get indexed

Images can drive significant traffic through image search, but search engines only rank images they can find and understand. An image sitemap is an explicit way to tell them which images matter, which is especially useful for galleries, product photos and sites that load images dynamically. It complements, rather than replaces, good on-page practices like descriptive alt text and filenames.

Submit the generated sitemap through your search engine's webmaster tools or reference it from your robots file. Keep it updated as images change, and ensure the image URLs are publicly accessible. All generation happens locally in your browser.
