JSON to INI Converter

Summary

This tool converts a JSON object into a valid INI configuration file. Top-level object keys become section headers, and their child key-value pairs become section entries. Non-object top-level values are placed in a global section at the top of the file.

How it works

1. Paste or type a JSON object into the input panel on the left.
2. Top-level string/number/boolean values are written as global key=value pairs.
3. Top-level object values become INI sections ([section]).
4. Nested objects inside sections are flattened with dot notation.
5. Click "Copy INI" to copy the result to your clipboard.

Use cases

• Convert application settings stored as JSON into INI config files.
• Migrate configuration between tools that read different formats.
• Generate .ini files for PHP, Python, Windows apps, or game configs.
• Quickly inspect how a JSON structure maps to INI sections.
• Produce INI files for CI/CD pipelines from JSON environment definitions.
