Extract URLs from a sitemap
An XML sitemap lists the URLs of a website wrapped in loc tags, along with optional metadata. This extractor reads the XML you paste and pulls out every URL into a clean, deduplicated list you can copy and use. It handles both regular sitemaps and sitemap index files, decoding the ampersand entities that sitemaps use to escape URLs, so the result is a usable set of plain addresses.
This saves you from manually picking URLs out of dense XML, which is tedious and error-prone.
Why extract sitemap URLs
A clean list of every URL a site declares is useful for many SEO tasks: auditing which pages exist, feeding a crawler, planning a site migration, comparing the sitemap against indexed pages, or checking for unexpected or orphaned URLs. Because sitemaps are the site owner's own declaration of important pages, they are a reliable starting point for analysis.
The extractor works purely on the XML text, so it does not fetch anything, and all processing happens locally in your browser, keeping your data private. For index files that reference other sitemaps, extract each referenced sitemap in turn.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the extractor read?
It reads the loc tags in the XML you paste and returns every URL they contain as a clean, deduplicated list.
Does it work on sitemap index files?
Yes. It extracts the sitemap URLs listed in an index file too, which you can then fetch and extract individually.
Why are some entities decoded?
Sitemaps escape characters like the ampersand as entities. The tool decodes them so the output contains usable, plain URLs.
Does it fetch the sitemap for me?
No. It processes the XML text you paste, with no network request, so your data stays in your browser.
What can I do with the URL list?
Use it for audits, crawling, migration planning, or comparing declared pages against those actually indexed by search engines.
