About IndexSnap
A free, privacy-first tool that lets you notify search engines the moment your pages change — no accounts, no tracking, no server-side storage.
What is IndexSnap?
IndexSnap is a free web tool that submits your URLs to search engines through two official channels: the IndexNow protocol (used by Bing and Yandex) and Google's Indexing API. When you publish a new article, update a page, or remove old content, you can tell the search engines directly instead of waiting for their crawlers to discover the change on their own.
You can load URLs from a sitemap, paste them in, or upload a file. IndexSnap forwards each submission to the relevant search engine and shows you the response — a 200 or 202 means the request was accepted.
Why it exists
Search engine crawlers are slow. A new page can sit undiscovered for days or weeks, especially on smaller sites that crawlers visit rarely. IndexNow and the Google Indexing API exist precisely so site owners can ping search engines directly when something changes — but using them normally means API keys, scripts, or command-line tools. IndexSnap puts both in one simple page you can use from your browser, for free.
Privacy-first by design
IndexSnap was built around a simple rule: your credentials should never leave your computer. There are no accounts and no sign-ups. Your sites and your IndexNow keys are stored only in your own browser's localStorage. The server never stores your keys, your Service Account JSON, or your URL lists — each request is used once to forward your submission to the search engine, and nothing is logged or kept. You can clear your saved data from your browser at any time.
Who it's for
IndexSnap is for anyone who publishes on the web and wants search engines to notice faster: site owners, SEOs, bloggers, developers, and small teams managing one site or many. If you run a blog, a tool website, a store, or a documentation site, and you add or update pages regularly, it is made for you.
What IndexSnap is not
IndexSnap is not a guarantee of indexing or ranking. Submitting a URL only notifies the search engine — whether and when a page is crawled and indexed is entirely the search engine's decision. It is also not a crawler, not an SEO audit tool, and not a way to submit URLs for sites you do not own. Use it to notify search engines about your own content, faster.
