About the formats
YAML, readable configuration
YAML represents the same data as JSON but with indentation instead of braces, meant to be read and written by hand.
Strengths: It is the configuration format of Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions and many tools.
Limits: Indentation matters: one extra space changes the meaning.

Frequently asked questions
Is my ODS uploaded to a server to turn it into YAML?
No. The ODS to YAML conversion runs entirely in your browser, with code downloaded from this site and executed on your device. You can check it in the Network tab of the developer tools or by going offline after the page loads.
Is there a size limit?
Up to 1 GB on desktop and about 200 MB on mobile, although a huge spreadsheet may take a few seconds.
Can I convert several ODS files at once?
Yes. Drop as many ODS files as you like: several are converted at the same time, depending on your processor cores, and when they finish you can download each YAML or all of them in a ZIP.
