How to Use the RSS Feed Generator — WebdevToolbox Guide

Build a valid RSS 2.0 XML feed from channel details and a list of items, with copy and download — no CMS or backend required.

Not every static site or hand-rolled blog has an RSS feed, because hand-writing valid RSS XML (with correct escaping, guids, and date formats) is fiddly enough that it’s easy to skip. This tool builds a spec-correct feed from a simple form, ready to copy or download.

What Is the RSS Feed Generator?

Fill in your channel’s title, link, description, and language, then add one or more items with their own title, link, description, and publish date. The tool assembles a complete, valid RSS 2.0 XML document live as you type, with proper XML escaping for special characters.

How to Use It

  1. Open the tool at /tools/rss-feed-generator.
  2. Fill in the feed-level title, link, description, and language.
  3. Edit the default items or add new ones with “+ Add item”.
  4. Copy the XML or download it as feed.xml, then upload it to your site.

Key Features

  • Valid RSS 2.0 structure, with the required channel and per-item fields (title, link, description, guid, pubDate).
  • Automatic XML escaping, so ampersands, quotes, and angle brackets in your content don’t break the feed.
  • Unlimited items, addable and removable individually.
  • Copy or download, ready to host as a static feed.xml file.

When to Use This Tool

  • Adding RSS to a static site or hand-built blog that has no built-in feed generation.
  • Quickly testing an RSS reader or aggregator with a hand-crafted sample feed.
  • Generating a one-off feed for a small project without pulling in a full feed-generation library.
