Plenty of systems still take XML as their import format while the data you have came out of a spreadsheet as CSV. Bridging that by hand means wrapping every field in tags and escaping anything that would break the markup, which is slow and easy to get subtly wrong. This converter does it properly: the header row becomes element names, each data row becomes a record element, and characters that are special in XML — ampersands, angle brackets, quotes — are escaped so the output is well-formed. Quoted fields containing commas or line breaks are handled correctly rather than being split at the wrong place. Paste your CSV, choose the delimiter if it is not a comma, and copy the resulting document. Conversion runs entirely in your browser, so exports containing customer or financial data are never uploaded.

Frequently asked questions
How are XML element names chosen?
They come from the CSV header row. Names that are not valid XML identifiers — those starting with a digit or containing spaces or symbols — are sanitised so the output stays well-formed.
What happens to commas inside quoted fields?
They are preserved. The parser respects CSV quoting rules, so a quoted field containing commas or line breaks is treated as a single value rather than split.
Are special characters escaped?
Yes. Ampersands, angle brackets, and quotes are converted to their XML entities, which is what stops a stray & in your data from breaking the document.
Can I use a semicolon or tab delimiter?
Yes. Semicolon-separated exports, common in European locales, and tab-separated files are both supported.
What if my CSV has no header row?
The first row is always treated as the header. Add a header row before converting, or the first data record will be consumed as element names.
Is my data uploaded?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser and the file is never transmitted or stored.
