Why convert YAML to CSV?

Indentation matters: one extra space changes the meaning. As CSV any spreadsheet, database or app can import it.

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.

CSV, tables as plain text

CSV stores a table as text: one row per line with columns separated by commas (or semicolons in some locales).

Strengths: Every spreadsheet, database and app can import it.

Limits: It has a single sheet, no formatting or formulas, and accented characters sometimes break.

Frequently asked questions

Is my YAML uploaded to a server to turn it into CSV?

No. The YAML to CSV 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 YAML can become CSV?

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 YAML files at once?

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