There are three methods:

Using Search Console (if you have a medium number of pages)

Let me Explain one bye one
Using Search Operators to Get a List of All Google Indexed Pages of Your Website
If you think you have only a few pages on your website and you can manually copy and paste them from your SERP results, then this method is for you.
In this first method of finding all pages indexed on Google, we use a search operator that is "site:".
What are Search Operators?
A search operator, also known as a search parameter, is a character or string of characters used in a search engine query to narrow the search's focus. Search operators can be symbol characters or command phrases that modify the results or intent of a search.
Let's move on to the steps of finding all indexed pages on Google:
Step 1: Go to Google
If you are reading this, you already know how to go to Google.
Step 2: Type Site: in the search bar and your domain name
in Google's search bar, type site: followed by your domain name, as shown above.
If you want to get a list of pages indexed for example.com, type site:example.com in the search bar.
Then what? Hit that enter button!
Step 3: Count the links : \
Yep, I mentioned earlier to use this method only if you think you can count your pages, and you will see the results like this.
just count and sort them.
But what to do if you have hundreds of links? Read on.
Using Search Console to Get a List of All Google Indexed Pages of Your Website
If you have hundreds of pages on your website and you want to know how many pages are indexed in Google, you can use Search Console and export them.
Let me explain
Step 1: Go to Seacrch Console
Go to https://search.google.com/search-console
Hope you have already connected you domain with serch console, if not connect your domain with search console.
Step 2: Go to "Pages" Tab in GSC
After opening the Google serch console, on the left side click on the pages tab.
Step 3: Toggle to Indexed pages
Uncheck the "not indexed" box and keep "indexed" checked.
Click on "View data about indexed pages "
Here you can see a list of URLs that are indexed on Google.
In the above case, you can see 16 URLs listed which are indexed on Google. You can just copy them from there or export them.
Step 4: Export Indexed Pages to a Google Sheet
In the top right corner, you can see an export button.
Click on it and export the list of URLs to a spreadsheet of your choice.
Result :
Now you will get the complete list of URLs indexed on Google
But the catch in this method is you can only export up to 1000 URLs. So, what do you do when you have more than 1000 pages indexed and want them listed?

If you have more than a 1000 URLs and want list all google indexed pages, this is the methord for you.
