Podcast RSS Validator
Paste an RSS document to check a bounded set of basic feed rules. The tool parses XML locally and never fetches a feed URL.
A QUICK WALKTHROUGH
How to use this tool
- Paste an RSS 2.0 XML document up to 2 MiB.
- Run the local check.
- Review malformed XML, missing channel fields, and item GUID findings.
Basic checks only
Checks RSS 2.0 root and channel structure, title, link, description, and missing or duplicate item GUIDs.
Local XML parsing
The pasted XML is parsed in an inert browser document. The tool does not fetch URLs or certify Apple, Spotify, or other directory acceptance.
Input bounds
Input is limited to 2 MiB and 10,000 items.
GOOD TO KNOW
Common questions
Does it fetch my feed?
No. Paste the XML; the tool does not make network requests.
Does a passing result guarantee directory approval?
No. It performs only the listed basic checks.
