Why Use the File Format Converter?
Convert between 8 text-based file formats instantly in your browser - no uploads, no servers, no signup.
Bidirectional Conversion
Convert in both directions: CSV↔TSV, JSON↔XML, Markdown↔HTML, YAML↔JSON, and INI↔JSON. Swap formats with one click to reverse the conversion.
Smart Format Detection
Paste any text and click "Detect Format" - the tool automatically identifies CSV, TSV, JSON, XML, Markdown, HTML, YAML, or INI based on content patterns. No need to specify the source format manually.
File Upload Support
Upload files directly instead of copy-pasting. The converter reads the file contents and auto-detects the format. Works with .csv, .tsv, .json, .xml, .md, .html, .yaml, .ini, and .txt files.
Copy & Download Results
Copy converted output to clipboard with one click or download as a file in the target format. Each format uses its correct MIME type and file extension for seamless integration.
Common Conversion Scenarios
Bridge format gaps between tools, languages, and platforms with instant conversions.
Developer Data Migration
Convert JSON API responses to XML for legacy system integration, or transform XML configs to JSON for modern JavaScript apps. Quick CSV-to-JSON for frontend data visualisation.
Spreadsheet Data Prep
Convert CSV exports from Excel/Google Sheets to TSV for Unix tools, or transform TSV database dumps back to CSV for spreadsheet import. Preserves all rows and columns.
Document Formatting
Convert Markdown documentation to HTML for publishing, or strip HTML emails back to clean Markdown for version control. Works great for README files, docs, and blog drafts.
Configuration Management
Convert YAML configs (Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD) to JSON for programmatic processing, or transform INI files (PHP, old Windows configs) to structured JSON for modern tooling.
Web Scraping & APIs
Convert raw HTML scraped from web pages to Markdown for clean reading, or transform JSON API responses to YAML for configuration files. Handle data in whatever format you receive.
Cross-Platform Data Exchange
Bridge format gaps between different tools and platforms. Convert INI configs to JSON for Node.js apps, or transform XML data exports to CSV for non-technical stakeholders.

What Is the File Format Converter?
A browser-based tool for converting between 8 common text-based file formats: CSV, TSV, JSON, XML, Markdown, HTML, YAML, and INI. All 5 conversion pairs are bidirectional - convert in either direction with a single click.
How the Conversions Work
CSV/TSV use simple delimiter swapping. JSON/XML parse structured data and serialize to the target format. Markdown/HTML convert text markup to web markup and back. YAML/JSON handle flat key-value configs. INI/JSON transform Windows-style config sections to structured objects.
100% Private & Offline
All conversions happen in your browser. No data is sent to any server. No uploads, no processing queues, no third-party APIs. After the first page load, the converter works entirely offline.
For Developers & Data Users
Built for software developers, data analysts, technical writers, DevOps engineers, and anyone who works with structured text data. The smart format detection saves time by automatically identifying your input format.
