Drag your files here

Or paste them with Ctrl+V. They never leave your device.

Why convert XML to TSV?

It is verbose and heavier than JSON for the same information. As TSV it pastes straight into a spreadsheet, with no trouble from commas.

About the formats

XML, tagged data

XML organises data in nested tags with attributes, like HTML but for data.

Strengths: It is the standard for many government systems, e-invoices and business integrations.

Limits: It is verbose and heavier than JSON for the same information.

TSV, tab-separated tables

TSV is like CSV but separates columns with tabs, so commas inside the text are not a problem.

Strengths: It pastes straight into a spreadsheet and is common for scientific data.

Limits: Like CSV: a single sheet and no formatting.

  2. 2Check that the target is TSV and open the options if you want to adjust it.
  3. 3Press “Convert” and download each TSV, or all of them in a ZIP.

Frequently asked questions

Is my XML uploaded to a server to turn it into TSV?

No. The XML to TSV 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.

Which XML can become TSV?

One that is a list of records, like [{"name": "Ana"}, {"name": "Luis"}]: each record becomes a row and each field a column. If the data is not table-shaped, you are told.

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 XML files at once?

Yes. Drop as many XML files as you like: several are converted at the same time, depending on your processor cores, and when they finish you can download each TSV or all of them in a ZIP.
