INI to TSV Converter

Summary

Paste any INI configuration file and instantly convert every key-value pair into tab-separated rows with section, key, and value columns.

How it works

1. Paste your INI file content into the left panel.
2. The converter parses each section header and key-value pair.
3. Keys that appear before any section header are placed in a "(global)" section.
4. Each parsed entry becomes one TSV row: section, key, value separated by tabs.
5. Copy the TSV output or download it as a .tsv file.

Use cases

• Import application config files into a spreadsheet for review.
• Migrate INI settings into a database table.
• Diff multiple INI files after normalizing to TSV.
• Feed INI configuration data into data-analysis pipelines.
• Audit all settings in a large INI file at a glance.
• Convert PHP, Python, or Windows INI configs to a flat tabular format.
