Convert CSV to XML online

Turn comma-, semicolon-, tab-, or pipe-delimited CSV into row-oriented UTF-8 XML without installing desktop software. Upload a file or paste CSV, choose header handling, then convert and copy or download.

Your CSV is processed locally in your browser and is not uploaded to our servers.

How to convert

1. Choose or drag a .csv file, or switch to Paste CSV.
2. Review the detected delimiter and table preview, and adjust options if needed.
3. Select Convert to XML, then copy or download the .xml file.

Safe CSV-to-XML conversion

• Uses the same quote-aware CSV parser as CSV to JSON.
• Headers are stored in field name attributes — never used as raw element names.
• Blank cells, blank rows, duplicate headers, and ragged rows follow the shared CSV normalization rules.
• Output matches the same <rows><row><field name="…"> structure as Excel to XML.

Private processing

Your CSV is processed locally in your browser and is not uploaded to our servers, whether you choose a file or paste text. Parsing and XML generation both run in the browser. There is no Looty Tools conversion endpoint that receives your CSV contents for this workflow.

CSV to XML FAQ

How do I convert CSV to XML?

Open CSV to XML, choose or paste CSV, review the preview and options, convert, then copy or download the .xml file.

Is my CSV uploaded?

No. Your CSV is processed locally in your browser and is not uploaded to our servers.

How are headers represented?

Normalized header text is stored in each <field name="…"> attribute. Headers are never used as raw XML element names.

Does quoting and embedded commas work?

Yes. The same quote-aware CSV parser used by CSV to JSON handles quoted commas, escaped quotes, and embedded line breaks.

What about blank rows and cells?

Blank cells and blank rows are preserved according to the shared CSV normalization rules rather than being silently dropped.

What is the maximum CSV size?

Each CSV input must be 25 MB or smaller, whether uploaded or pasted.
