Online Converter Tools for Data & Files — JSON, CSV, YAML, Numbers & More
Stop switching between apps. Convert JSON to CSV, Markdown to HTML, numbers between bases, colors between formats, and more — all in one place, all free.
The Power of Instant Data Conversion
Data rarely comes in the format you need. APIs return JSON when you need CSV. Clients send spreadsheets when your app needs YAML. Timestamps arrive in epoch format when you need human-readable dates. The list goes on. Creative Tools offers 60+ converter utilities that handle all these transformations instantly in your browser. No file uploads, no server processing — just paste, convert, and copy.Data Format Converters
JSON to CSV Converter
The JSON to CSV Converter transforms structured JSON arrays into comma-separated values that open perfectly in Excel, Google Sheets, or any spreadsheet program. It automatically detects headers from JSON keys and handles nested objects.- Auto header detection — Keys become column headers automatically
- Nested object flattening — Handles multi-level JSON structures
- Custom delimiters — CSV, TSV, or any separator you need
- Instant download — Save the converted file immediately
Use Case: Exporting API data for a report? Hit your endpoint, copy the JSON response, paste it into the converter, and open the resulting CSV in Excel — done in under 30 seconds.
CSV to JSON Converter
The CSV to JSON Converter does the reverse — turn spreadsheet data into structured JSON for APIs, databases, and applications. It uses the first row as keys and creates an array of objects.JSON to YAML Converter
The JSON to YAML Converter translates JSON to YAML format, which is the preferred configuration format for Docker Compose, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, and many other DevOps tools. YAML's indentation-based syntax is more human-readable than JSON's bracket-heavy format.YAML to JSON Converter
The YAML to JSON Converter converts YAML configuration files to JSON. Essential when you need to programmatically process YAML configs or integrate with JSON-only APIs.JSON to XML Converter
The JSON to XML Converter transforms JSON data into well-formed XML documents. While JSON has largely replaced XML for web APIs, XML remains the standard for many enterprise systems, SOAP services, and configuration files.Number & Unit Converters
Number Base Converter
The Number Base Converter converts between binary (base-2), octal (base-8), decimal (base-10), and hexadecimal (base-16). Essential for low-level programming, networking, and understanding how computers represent data.| Decimal | Binary | Octal | Hexadecimal |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | 1010 | 12 | A |
| 42 | 101010 | 52 | 2A |
| 255 | 11111111 | 377 | FF |
| 1024 | 10000000000 | 2000 | 400 |
Temperature Converter
The Temperature Converter converts between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin. Beyond basic conversions, it shows the formula used so you can understand the math behind each conversion.Length / Distance Converter
The Length Converter handles conversions between meters, feet, inches, kilometers, miles, centimeters, millimeters, and more. Supports both metric and imperial systems.Weight / Mass Converter
The Weight Converter converts between kilograms, pounds, ounces, grams, tons, and other mass units. Includes both metric and imperial measurements.Data Storage Converter
The Data Storage Converter calculates between bits, bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes, and petabytes. Critical for system administrators, developers, and anyone working with file sizes or bandwidth. Quick Reference: 1 GB = 1,024 MB = 1,048,576 KB = 1,073,741,824 bytes. Cloud providers sometimes use 1 GB = 1,000 MB (decimal), so be careful when comparing storage quotes.
Date & Time Converters
Unix Timestamp Converter
The Unix Timestamp Converter converts between Unix epoch time (seconds since January 1, 1970) and human-readable dates. This is one of the most frequently needed developer tools — APIs, databases, and logs all use timestamps.Time Zone Converter
The Time Zone Converter converts times between any two time zones worldwide. Essential for scheduling across distributed teams and understanding when events happen in different regions.Date Calculator
The Date Calculator adds or subtracts days, weeks, months, or years from any date. It also calculates the difference between two dates in multiple units.Code & Markup Converters
Markdown to HTML Converter
The Markdown to HTML Converter renders Markdown syntax into clean HTML. Writers use Markdown for its simplicity, but web pages need HTML. This tool bridges the gap with live preview.HTML to Markdown Converter
The HTML to Markdown Converter does the reverse — strips HTML tags and converts to clean Markdown. Perfect for migrating web content to documentation sites, GitHub READMEs, or static site generators.CSS Unit Converter
The CSS Unit Converter converts between px, rem, em, vw, vh, and percentages. Understanding these relationships is crucial for responsive web design. Pro Tip: Use rem units for font sizes and spacing in modern CSS. With the default browser font-size of 16px, 1rem = 16px. Set your base font-size on the html element and everything scales proportionally.
Text Encoding Converters
Base64 Encoder / Decoder
The Base64 Encoder/Decoder converts text and binary data to and from Base64 encoding. Used in email (MIME), data URLs, API authentication headers, and more.URL Encoder / Decoder
The URL Encoder/Decoder percent-encodes special characters for safe URLs. Spaces, ampersands, question marks — any character that has special meaning in a URL gets properly encoded.HTML Entity Encoder / Decoder
The HTML Entity Encoder converts special HTML characters to entities and back. Prevents XSS vulnerabilities and ensures special characters render correctly in web pages.Color Format Converters
HEX to RGB
The HEX to RGB Converter converts hexadecimal color codes (#FF6B35) to RGB values (255, 107, 53). The most common color conversion for web developers.RGB to HSL
The RGB to HSL Converter translates RGB colors to Hue-Saturation-Lightness format. HSL is more intuitive for design work because you can adjust brightness and vibrancy independently.HEX to HSL
The HEX to HSL Converter goes directly from hex to HSL — the format increasingly used in CSS custom properties and modern design systems.Maximize Your Conversion Workflow
- Know your target format first — Don't convert blindly. Understand what format your destination system expects
- Validate after conversion — Use format-specific validators (JSON Validator, XML Validator) to confirm the output is well-formed
- Chain converters for complex transforms — JSON → CSV → modified in Excel → CSV → JSON is a legitimate workflow
- Bookmark your most-used converters — If you convert JSON to YAML daily, keep it one click away
