Are my INI files uploaded anywhere?

No. This conversion runs entirely inside your browser, so the file never leaves your device. You can confirm it yourself: open the network tab of your browser's developer tools and watch that nothing is sent while the file converts.

Is converting INI to XML free?

Yes, without a limit on how many files you convert and with no watermark on the result. Files up to 100 MB are covered by the free plan.

Does converting INI to XML lose quality?

No. XML stores the same content without discarding anything, so the result is identical in quality to the original.

Do I need to install anything to open XML files?

No installation is needed for the conversion itself — it runs in the browser you already have. Opening the XML afterwards needs whatever software normally handles Extensible Markup Language on your device.

The conversion happens inside your own browser, so the file is never uploaded — it works on Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone and Android, and keeps working with the network switched off.

What INI and XML are for

Sections and key-value pairs. The oldest configuration format still in daily use.

The verbose ancestor of JSON. Still the backbone of enterprise and government data exchange.
