Frequently Asked Questions
What is an RSS feed and why do I need one?
An RSS feed is an XML file that lists your latest content so readers can subscribe through feed readers like Feedly or Inoreader. It brings repeat visitors back without relying on social media algorithms or email deliverability.
Should I choose RSS 2.0 or Atom 1.0?
RSS 2.0 is the most widely supported format and works with virtually every reader and podcast platform. Atom 1.0 is a stricter IETF standard with better handling of multiple authors and content types. When in doubt, pick RSS 2.0.
Where do I upload the generated feed.xml?
Upload it to your site root, e.g. https://example.com/feed.xml, and add a link tag with rel=alternate and type=application/rss+xml to your pages so browsers and readers can auto-discover it.
Does this tool send my data anywhere?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded to any server, and the generated XML never leaves your device unless you copy or download it yourself.
