What Convert XML to CSV can do:

This tool transforms structured XML into flat CSV data, perfect for spreadsheets, imports, or analysis. It reads each repeated XML element and extracts their tag values as fields. You can flatten nested elements into keys, preserve original spacing or clean it up, and decide whether to output headers. The process is fast, private, and runs entirely in your browser nothing is uploaded or stored.

Example:

XML Input:

<people>
  <person>
    <name>Alice</name>
    <age>30</age>
    <city>New York</city>
  </person>
  <person>
    <name>Bob</name>
    <age>25</age>
    <city>Los Angeles</city>
  </person>
</people>

CSV Output:

name,age,city
Alice,30,New York
Bob,25,Los Angeles

Common Use Cases:

Use it when converting XML exports into spreadsheet format, flattening nested data for CSV ingestion, or prepping legacy XML for modern tools like Excel or Google Sheets. It’s perfect for analysts, developers, and non-technical users alike.

Useful Tools & Suggestions:

If the XML is complex, try Convert XML to JSON first to flatten it before bringing it into CSV. And once it’s converted, use Rename CSV Columns to make the headers clearer and easier to work with.
