How to Use XML Sitemap Formatter

XML Sitemap Formatter · free online tool · All Tools Verse
XML Sitemap Formatter. Free online tool that runs in your browser.
  1. Paste your sitemap. Drop in a minified or messy sitemap, or any XML you want to tidy.
  2. Choose how to format. Pick a 2 space, 4 space, or tab indent, or tick minify to compress it instead.
  3. Select Format. The tool re-indents the XML and keeps leaf elements such as loc on a single line.
  4. Check the result. The badge shows whether the XML is well-formed and the stats show the URL count.
  5. Copy the output. Use the copy button and paste the clean XML back into your file.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this tool do?

It pretty prints a sitemap with clean indentation so it is easy to read, or minifies it to save space.

Does it validate my sitemap?

It runs a well-formed check and shows a badge. For full protocol checks, use the sitemap validator.

When should I minify?

Minifying removes whitespace to make the file smaller for delivery. Pretty printing is better while you edit by hand.

Does formatting change my data?

No. Only the spacing between tags changes. The URLs and values stay exactly the same.

Can it handle large sitemaps?

Yes, within your browser memory. Very large files format more slowly but the result is the same.

Is my data sent anywhere?

No. Formatting happens in your browser, so nothing you paste is uploaded.
