Sitemap downloader
Paste a sitemap.xml URL and download the original XML or export the parsed sitemap URLs as TXT or CSV. Use it when you need a clean sitemap download for SEO audits, migrations, redirects, and spreadsheet checks.
Why download a sitemap?
A sitemap downloader is useful when you need the raw sitemap.xml file and a clean export of the URLs inside it. Sitemap Watch keeps both outputs together so you can inspect the XML and move the URL list into another SEO workflow for backups, offline analysis, migration planning, and content review.
FAQ
How do I download a sitemap.xml file?
Paste the sitemap.xml URL, run the downloader, then click XML to save the original sitemap response.
Why should I download a sitemap?
Download a sitemap when you need a backup, offline analysis, migration planning, redirect mapping, content inventory work, or a clean URL export for another SEO tool.
Can I download all URLs from a sitemap?
Yes. After the sitemap is parsed, download the extracted URLs as TXT or CSV with one URL per line or row.
Is this different from a sitemap extractor?
The sitemap extractor focuses on showing and copying URLs. The sitemap downloader focuses on saving the raw XML and exporting URL lists as downloadable files.
Can I download a sitemap index?
Yes. If the sitemap is an index, the export contains the child sitemap URLs. Open each child sitemap when you need the page URLs inside it.
Why is my sitemap download blocked?
Some sites block automated requests with CDN, firewall, or bot protection rules. Validate the sitemap URL to see the status code and parsing result.
Does this submit my sitemap to Google?
No. This tool only downloads and exports sitemap data. Submit the final sitemap URL through Google Search Console when it is ready.
