Your map will appear here
Add a list of URLs, a sitemap.xml or CSV, or load the example.
How it works
From a pile of links to a clear map in three steps. No install, no sign-up.
Add your URLs
Paste a list, upload a sitemap.xml or CSV, or fetch a live sitemap URL.
Watch it build
Each URL path is grouped into colour-coded branches automatically.
Explore & export
Search, expand, trace paths back to the homepage, then export a PNG.
Generate from a URL, XML, or CSV
Four ways to get your pages in — whatever format they’re already in.
Paste URLs
Drop a raw list of links, one per line. Headers and quotes are handled.
Upload a sitemap.xml
See every URL an XML sitemap lists, organised by folder.
Upload a CSV
Export from Screaming Frog, Search Console, or a spreadsheet.
Fetch a live sitemap
Enter a sitemap URL and the tool pulls it, following index files.
A faster way to read a website
Everything you need to see a site’s architecture at a glance — nothing to pay or sign up for.
Colour-coded branches
Every top-level section gets its own colour, so big sites stay readable.
Instant search
Type any word to highlight matching pages and jump straight to them.
Hover to trace paths
Light up a page’s route back to the homepage and dim everything else.
Expand & collapse
Open one branch or the whole site. Huge branches load on demand.
Export to PNG
Save a high-resolution image for audits, proposals, and decks.
Private by design
Parsing happens in your browser. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.
Who uses a visual sitemap generator
If you plan, audit, or build websites, a visual sitemap beats squinting at a list of links.
SEO audits
Spot thin sections and bloated folders fast; visualise a sitemap before planning internal links.
UX & website planning
Map the current structure before a redesign and share clear information architecture.
Site migrations
Compare old and new structures, plan redirects, and lose nothing in the move.
Developers & agencies
Hand clients an interactive map instead of a spreadsheet, in minutes.
What is a visual sitemap?
A visual sitemap is a diagram of a website's pages that shows how they're organised. Rather than reading a flat list of URLs, you see a tree: the homepage sits at the root, and every folder in a URL — like /blog, /products, or /about — branches off it. Sub-pages nest under their parent, so the shape of the whole site becomes obvious in one glance.
Designers and content strategists use visual sitemaps to plan information architecture. SEOs use them to audit structure, find weak spots, and decide where new content should live. Developers use them to document a site or scope a migration. Because the structure is visual, it's far easier to explain to clients and teammates than a column of links.
Visual sitemap vs XML sitemap
These two get mixed up often, but they serve different audiences:
| Visual sitemap | XML sitemap | |
|---|---|---|
| Made for | People — planning & audits | Search engines — crawling |
| Format | Interactive diagram / tree | sitemap.xml file |
| Shows | Hierarchy & relationships | A list of URLs + metadata |
| Best for | UX, SEO strategy, presentations | Indexing & SEO submission |
This tool bridges the two: feed it the URLs from your sitemap.xml (or any list) and it produces the human-friendly visual version instantly.

Frequently asked questions
What is a visual sitemap generator?
A visual sitemap generator turns a website's pages into a diagram so you can see how the site is organised. Instead of a flat list of links, you get an expandable tree where each folder in the URL (like /blog or /products) becomes a branch. It helps you understand site structure, plan content, and spot SEO issues at a glance.
Is this visual sitemap generator free?
Yes. It's completely free with no sign-up, no account, and no usage limits. Map as many URLs as you like, as many times as you like.
How do I create a visual sitemap from a URL or a sitemap.xml?
You have four options: paste a list of URLs, upload a sitemap.xml or CSV file, or enter a live sitemap URL to fetch it. The tool reads the URL paths and builds an interactive tree automatically. You can then expand branches, search, and export the result as an image.
Is my data private?
Yes. All parsing happens locally in your browser. Your URLs and files are never uploaded to a server, so it's safe to use on private, staging, or client websites.
What's the difference between a visual sitemap and an XML sitemap?
An XML sitemap (sitemap.xml) is a machine-readable file that lists your URLs for search engines like Google. A visual sitemap is a human-readable diagram of the same pages, used for planning, audits, and presentations. This tool turns the URLs from either source into a visual map.
Can it handle large websites with thousands of pages?
Yes. Large branches stay collapsed and load on demand, so the map stays fast even with thousands of URLs. It's been tested on sitemaps with over 9,000 URLs.
Does it crawl a website automatically?
It works from URLs you already have: a pasted list, a CSV, or a sitemap.xml file. You can also point it at a live sitemap URL and it will try to fetch it. For sites that block cross-origin requests, download the sitemap.xml and upload it instead.
Can I export the visual sitemap?
Yes. Export the current view as a high-resolution PNG to use in audits, decks, and client presentations.
