Convert YAML to XML

Paste your YAML on the left and this tool converts it to XML instantly, right in your browser. YAML is a human-friendly, indentation-based format popular for configuration like Docker Compose, Kubernetes, and CI pipelines. XML is a verbose, tag-based markup format still common in enterprise systems, SOAP APIs, and document formats.

The conversion is completely client-side — there's no upload, no queue, and no account. Copy the XML output or download it as a file, and convert as many documents as you like.

YAML to XML Converter — frequently asked questions

How do I convert YAML to XML?
Paste or type your YAML in the left panel and the XML appears on the right instantly. Copy it with one click or download it as a file. Everything happens in your browser.
Why does the XML have a <root> element?
XML requires exactly one root element. When your data has several top-level keys or is a list, the converter wraps it in a <root> element so the output is always valid XML.
Is my data uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser with JavaScript — your data never leaves your device, so it's safe to convert configuration, API payloads, and other sensitive files. You can even go offline once the page has loaded.
Is this converter really free?
Yes. No sign-up, no payment details, no file-size paywall, and no watermark on the output. A single unobtrusive ad slot covers hosting.
