How to convert XML to CSV
XML files that follow a repeating record structure (such as product catalogs, API exports, database dumps, or configuration files with lists of items) can be converted to CSV for analysis and data processing. The XML-to-CSV conversion works by finding the repeating element and mapping its child elements to CSV columns.
BoltConverter detects the repeating element in your XML, maps each unique child element name to a column header, and writes each repeating record as a CSV row. The result is a spreadsheet-ready CSV file. After conversion, both files are deleted from the server immediately.
Upload your XML file
Click the upload area or drag your .xml file onto the page. The XML should have a repeating element structure.
Repeating elements are mapped to rows and columns
BoltConverter parses the XML, identifies the repeating record elements, and maps child element names to CSV column headers.

Frequently asked questions
What kind of XML converts well to CSV?
XML with a simple, flat repeating structure works best. For example: <items><item><name>A</name><price>1.00</price></item>...</items>. The converter maps <name> and <price> to columns and each <item> to a row.
What happens with deeply nested XML?
Deeply nested XML structures do not map naturally to a flat CSV table. The converter attempts to flatten nested elements, but complex hierarchical XML may produce unexpected results. Flatten the XML before converting if needed.
Are XML attributes included in the CSV output?
Element attributes may be included as additional columns depending on the converter's parsing behavior. Child element text content is always included.
Is there a file size limit?
XML files up to 100 MB are supported. Large XML files with millions of records may take longer to process.
Are my files stored on the server?
No. Both the uploaded XML file and the resulting CSV are deleted from our servers immediately after you download the result.
