How It Works

Paste a URL, pick a theme, export — in under a minute.

01

Paste Your URL

Enter any public URL. Choose source mode (auto, sitemap.xml, or crawl), max pages (5–100), and crawl depth (1–5 levels).

02

We Crawl & Categorize

The backend reads your sitemap.xml first, falls back to internal-link crawling, extracts page titles + meta descriptions, then auto-groups pages by URL path.

03

Customize & Export

Pick from 5 layouts, 4 themes, any accent color. Toggle URLs, descriptions, dates, search. Live preview updates instantly. Export as HTML, Markdown, JSON, or plain text.

Why Every Site Needs an HTML Sitemap

XML sitemaps help search engines find your pages. HTML sitemaps help humans find them — and they compound your SEO via internal linking, reducing bounce rate, and surfacing deep content that footer links would miss.

A good HTML sitemap is also a low-cost trust signal. Visitors who can navigate confidently stay longer. Crawlers that find every page rank you more comprehensively. And linking the HTML sitemap from your footer is one of the simplest SEO wins still available in 2026.

  • Improves internal linking — every page gets at least one inbound link

  • Lowers bounce rate by making navigation explicit
  • Helps screen-reader users find content faster
  • Provides a fallback when site search is down or limited
  • Functions as a publishing checklist for content teams
  • Required by some accessibility audits (WCAG 2.2)

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an HTML sitemap?

An HTML sitemap is a human-readable web page that lists all the pages on a website, organized by category. Unlike XML sitemaps (which are for search engines), HTML sitemaps help visitors find content and improve internal linking for SEO.

How does the generator discover pages?

The tool first tries to read your sitemap.xml (via robots.txt or the standard /sitemap.xml path). If no XML sitemap is available, it falls back to crawling internal links starting from the homepage, up to the depth and page count you specify.

How many pages can it process?

Up to 100 pages per generation. Crawl depth is configurable from 1 to 5 levels.

What export formats are supported?

Five formats: standalone HTML (complete styled page), HTML snippet (markup only), Markdown (for docs), JSON (structured data), and plain text (URL list).

Can I customize the design?

Yes — pick from 4 built-in themes (Modern, Minimal, Classic, Dark), 5 layouts (Tree, Cards, List, Columns, Compact), and any accent color via the picker or hex input. Live preview updates instantly.

Does it work with single-page apps (SPAs)?

For SPAs, an XML sitemap is recommended. Pure client-rendered SPAs without sitemaps may yield limited results because the link crawler depends on server-rendered HTML.

Is the tool free?

Yes — completely free, no signup, no watermark, no rate limits.

How do I add the generated sitemap to my website?

For the standalone HTML format, upload the downloaded file as /sitemap.html on your server and link to it from your footer. For the HTML snippet, paste the markup into an existing page (e.g. inside a /sitemap or /pages route).
