INI to CSV Converter

Summary

This tool converts INI configuration file content into CSV format entirely in your browser. Each key-value pair in the INI file becomes a row in the CSV with three columns: section, key, and value. Keys outside any section are placed in a blank section column. The output is ready to open in Excel, Google Sheets, or any spreadsheet application.

How it works

1. Paste your INI file content into the input panel on the left.
2. The parser identifies section headers (e.g. [database]) and key-value pairs.
3. Each key-value pair is mapped to a row: section, key, and value.
4. Keys that appear before any section header are assigned an empty section name.
5. The CSV preview appears on the right with a row count.
6. Click "Copy CSV" or "Download CSV" to export the result.

Use cases

• Import application configuration into a spreadsheet for auditing.
• Compare INI configs across environments by diffing the CSV output.
• Migrate configuration data to a database that ingests CSV files.
• Share readable config summaries with non-technical stakeholders.
• Bulk-edit configuration values in Excel and convert back to INI.
• Document all settings from a legacy application config file.
