CSV to XML Converter

Turn any CSV table into well-formed XML in one step. Each CSV row becomes a child element, each column becomes a sub-element, and you control the root and row element names. The output is valid, UTF-8 encoded XML ready to use in data pipelines, APIs, or config files.

  • Download .xml or copy output
  • All processing runs locally in your browser

How to use it

  1. Paste your CSV into the input panel or click Upload to load a file.
  2. Set the root element name (e.g. 'records') and row element name (e.g. 'record') in Options.
  3. Click Convert. The XML output appears with one element per CSV row.
  4. Download the .xml file or copy to clipboard.

Use cases

  • Preparing CSV data for legacy enterprise systems that require XML input
  • Converting spreadsheet exports for use in XSLT or XML-based workflows
  • Generating XML test fixtures from tabular data
  • Transforming a product table into a catalog XML feed

Limitations

  • Very large CSV files may slow the browser on low-memory devices.

Questions & answers

Frequently asked

Can I control the element names?

Yes. The column headers become element tag names. Set a custom root element and row element in the Options panel.

What if a column header has spaces or special characters?

Spaces and invalid XML name characters are replaced with underscores to keep the output valid XML.

Is my CSV data uploaded anywhere?

Your file or text is processed in your browser and is not uploaded.

Does the output include an XML declaration?

Yes. The output starts with <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> for full compatibility.
