How to Convert TOML to CSV

  1. 1

    Drop your TOML file

    Drag and drop your .toml file onto the converter, or click to browse. The file should contain arrays of tables for tabular output.

  2. 2

    Instant conversion

    TOML table keys become CSV column headers. Each entry in an array of tables becomes a comma-separated row. Nested values are stringified.

  3. 3

    Click Download to save the .csv file. Fields containing commas or quotes are properly escaped following RFC 4180.

Frequently Asked Questions

Arrays of tables ([[items]]) work best. Each table entry becomes a row, and the keys within each table become column headers. Flat key-value pairs are treated as a single-row table.

Nested tables are flattened using dot notation for column headers. For example, [server.database] with host key becomes a column named 'database.host'.

All values are converted to their text representation in CSV. Integers, floats, booleans, and dates appear as strings in the output.

Inline arrays within a table entry are converted to a comma-separated string within a single CSV cell, wrapped in quotes.

Comments are stripped during parsing and do not appear in the CSV output. CSV format does not support comments.

Yes. Top-level key-value pairs are output as a single row with keys as column headers. For multi-row output, use arrays of tables.

TOML true and false become the strings 'true' and 'false' in the CSV cells.

Datetime values are output in ISO 8601 format as text strings in the CSV. For example, 2024-01-15T10:30:00Z appears as-is.

Yes. The converter runs in your browser and handles files efficiently. Most TOML config files are small and convert instantly.

Yes. The conversion happens entirely in your browser. Your TOML configuration, which may contain credentials or API keys, is never uploaded to any server.
