Image Sitemap Generator
An image sitemap helps search engines find images they might miss, such as images loaded by JavaScript or hosted on a CDN. List each page with its images as “page URL | image URL, image URL” and the generator groups them per page, removes duplicates, validates every address, checks Google’s limit of 1,000 images per page and 50,000 pages per file, and writes a valid XML sitemap with the image extension.

Image Sitemap Generator FAQ
Why only image:loc?
Google deprecated image:caption, image:title, image:geo_location and image:license in 2022. Use alt text and structured data for descriptions.
Can images be on another domain?
Yes. Images on a CDN or a different domain can be listed for your pages.
How do I submit the sitemap?
Upload the file to your site, add a “Sitemap: https://…” line to robots.txt and submit it in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools.
When an image sitemap helps
Search engines find most images by crawling pages. An image sitemap is useful when images are hard to discover or when image search is important for your business.
You can also add image entries to your normal sitemap; a separate file is easier to maintain when the images change often.
Privacy: everything on this page runs in your browser. What you type or paste is not uploaded, stored or logged, and the result is generated on your device, so you can safely work with unpublished content, client data or drafts.
Tip: the result updates as you type, so you can try variations quickly. Copy the output with one click or download it as a file, and keep a copy of your input if you want to come back later – nothing is saved between visits.
Who it is for: the tool is built for site owners, marketers, writers and developers alike. You do not need to install anything or create an account, it works on phones as well as on desktop computers, and the results are plain text you can paste into any CMS, spreadsheet, code editor or ticket.
Accuracy: the rules used here are documented on the page and follow the published guidelines of the major search engines and web standards. Where a result is an approximation or a rule of thumb rather than an official limit, the page says so, so you can decide how much weight to give it.
Good practice: generated markup and files only help when they match the real page. Publish them together with the visible content they describe, test the page with the official tools from the search engines, and update the markup whenever the page changes.
