Frequently Asked Questions
Either raw sitemap XML (it extracts each <loc> value) or a plain list of URLs, one per line.
That's a conservative, safe number well under Google's 50,000-URL/50MB-per-file limit, keeping each generated file small and easy to manage.
Yes — the sitemap index uses placeholder filenames like https://example.com/sitemap-1.xml. Replace example.com with your real domain before uploading.
The tool shows sample XML for up to the first 3 chunks and tells you the total chunk count if you have more, plus a sitemap index referencing every chunk.
