How to convert YAML to JSON, step by step

  1. Select your YAML file

    Click the upload area or drag your YAML file straight onto it. You can drop several at once if you need to convert them all.

  2. Check the target is JSON

    The output format is already set to JSON. If you added several files and want a different format for each, switch to the "A format for each file" option.

  3. Press Convert

    Conversion runs on your own device, so it starts instantly and never depends on your internet speed or on a queue at some server.

  4. Download the result

    Hit Download and save your new JSON file. If you converted several, you can grab them all together in a ZIP.

Why convert YAML to JSON?
