Frequently asked questions
Is YAML to JSON free to use?
Yes. YAML to JSON is completely free with no account, no trial and no usage cap. Every feature on this page is available on the first visit.
Does YAML to JSON upload your YAML file to a server?
No. YAML to JSON processes your YAML file inside your browser, so it never reaches a DocTools server. That also means the tool keeps working if your connection drops mid-task.
Is there a file size limit?
The practical ceiling is your device's available memory rather than a server quota. Files up to roughly 100 MB work comfortably on a typical laptop in YAML to JSON.
Do I need to install anything to use YAML to JSON?
No installation is needed. YAML to JSON runs in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, on desktop and on mobile, with no extension or plugin.
Will YAML to JSON keep the original quality?
YAML to JSON preserves the source content faithfully where JSON supports it. Where the two formats differ, the tool favours visual fidelity over the smallest possible output.
What happens to your YAML file when I close the tab?
It is discarded. YAML to JSON keeps everything in temporary browser memory, so closing the tab removes every trace of the session.
