How to Extract URLs from an XML Sitemap

Step 1: Choose Input Method

You have two options to input your sitemap:

Upload a Sitemap File

Click on the file input field under “Upload Sitemap File”
Select your sitemap XML file from your local machine

Or Enter Sitemap URL

Type or paste the URL of your sitemap in the input field under “Enter Sitemap URL”

Step 2: Extract URLs

Click the “Extract URLs” button. The tool will process your sitemap and extract the URLs.

Step 3: View Results

Once processing is complete, you’ll see several sections populated with data.

Total URLs
Exact Duplicates
Near Duplicates

URL Depth Distribution Chart

Shows how many URLs exist at each depth level of your site structure.

Top 10 Folders Distribution Chart

Displays the distribution of URLs across the top-level folders of your site.

Extracted URLs List

A table showing all extracted URLs with their index numbers.

Duplicate URLs

Lists exact duplicate URLs and near-duplicate URLs found in the sitemap

Step 4: Filter URLs (Optional)

Use the “Filter URLs” input field to search for specific URLs within the extracted list. The results and statistics will update based on your filter.

Step 5: Download Results

You have two download options:

Click “Download URLs as CSV” to save all extracted (or filtered) URLs as a CSV file
Click “Download Duplicates” to save a CSV file containing exact and near-duplicate URLs

Step 6: Clear Results (Optional)

If you want to start over or analyse a different sitemap, click the “Clear Results” button to reset the tool.

Additional Notes

The tool uses direct requests and multiple CORS proxies to fetch sitemaps, bypassing cross-origin restrictions where possible. It also detects and reports if access is blocked by a site’s WAF.

It supports both standard sitemaps and sitemap index files, fetching and processing all linked sitemaps in parallel with progress tracking.
Charts provide visual insights into your site’s structure (URL depth and top-level folder distribution).
Duplicate detection identifies both exact duplicates and near-duplicate URLs (e.g. parameter variants), helping uncover potential SEO issues or content redundancies.

Tool FAQs

For additional questions or support, please contact [email protected]

What types of sitemaps can this tool process?

The Sitemap URL Extractor works with standard XML sitemaps. It does not currently support image sitemaps or news sitemaps.

Is there a limit to the number of URLs it can extract?

The tool can handle most standard sitemaps. However, for extremely large sitemaps (over 50,000 URLs), you may experience slower performance.

Can I use this tool to submit sitemaps to search engines?

No, this tool is for analysis purposes only. To submit sitemaps to search engines, use their respective webmaster tools.

Can I use the tool for multiple websites?

Yes, you can use the tool for any website’s sitemap, as long as you have access to the sitemap file or URL.

Does the tool crawl the extracted URLs?

No, it only extracts and analyses the URLs present in the sitemap. It does not visit or crawl the actual web pages.

Is my sitemap data saved or stored?

No, all processing is done in your browser. We do not store or save any of your sitemap data.

Experiencing download issues?

If you can’t download the CSV, check your browser’s download settings or try a different browser.

Slow processing times?

For very large sitemaps, the tool may take longer to process. Be patient or try splitting your sitemap into smaller files.

Sitemap not loading?

Ensure the sitemap URL is correct and publicly accessible. Try using the file upload option if the URL method fails.

No URLs extracted?

Verify that your sitemap is in valid XML format and contains <loc> tags for URLs.

What is Growthack.io and what do we do?

Growthack is an award-winning organic growth agency that helps eCommerce, SaaS and B2B brands grow through technical SEO, strategic content, brand authority and integrated paid media. Our approach goes Beyond SEO® by building Growth Systems designed to increase visibility across Google, ChatGPT and AI-powered search experiences.

What is an Organic Growth Agency?

An organic growth agency helps businesses attract and convert customers through long-term channels such as search, content, authority building and brand visibility. Unlike traditional SEO agencies that focus only on rankings, organic growth agencies align multiple channels to drive sustainable commercial growth.

Why is Growthack different from a traditional SEO agency?

Traditional SEO agencies often focus primarily on rankings and traffic. Growthack goes Beyond SEO® by combining technical SEO, strategic content, brand authority, paid media and AI search optimisation into integrated Growth Systems designed to drive sustainable commercial growth.

Is SEO still worth investing in with AI search growing?

Yes.

The majority of AI search users still rely on Google and traditional search engines. AI tools complement search. They don’t replace it.

Brands that win in AI search are almost always strong in traditional SEO first.

What makes Growthack different from a traditional SEO agency?

We don’t treat SEO as a ranking exercise.

Growthack focuses on systems: technical foundations, content architecture, data integrity, and brand signals that drive real commercial outcomes.

Not vanity metrics.

What types of businesses does Growthack work with?

We work with established e-commerce, SaaS, and B2B brands that already have product–market fit and want predictable, sustainable growth from organic search.

Most of our clients are scaling, post-migration, post-rebrand, or preparing for international growth.

Is Growthack a good fit for early-stage startups?

Usually no.

We’re best suited to businesses that already have:

Existing demand
A validated product or service
Internal stakeholders ready to act on insight

If you’re pre-PMF (Product-Market Fit), paid or outbound is often a better first step.

For SaaS businesses, we’re best suited to working with brands that have already achieved significant funding e.g. Series A and are aiming to achieve further B, C etc rounds.
