Files travel over TLS and are deleted from the server as soon as the conversion finishes.

YAML and CSV: what actually changes

YAML is indentation-based configuration markup that humans actually enjoy editing. CSV is comma-separated plain text — one table, no types, readable by everything.

Records are read out of the YAML with their structure intact and written as CSV, so this is a real parse rather than a text substitution — quoting, escaping and character encoding are all handled for you. The CSV you get back keeps the header row and every value as text, and gives up formulas, formatting, multiple sheets and column types. The thing to check before you rely on the output is typing: dates, leading zeros and very large integers are where formats disagree.

How it goes3 steps

  1. Add your YAML files
    Drop them onto the box above or click Select File. Add as many .yaml files as you like — the whole batch converts in one go, and duplicates are ignored.
  2. Confirm CSV as the output
    CSV is already selected as the target format on this page. Check the delimiter and encoding options if your data is unusual.
  3. Download your CSV
    Hit Convert and grab the finished CSV files individually or as a single ZIP. Everything is deleted from the server once you have them.
