OPML to CSV
Converting a .opml font to .csv repackages the same glyphs and metrics for a different delivery target. Free, private, and validated — the file never leaves your browser.

Converting a .opml font to .csv repackages the same glyphs and metrics for a different delivery target. An .opml file is an outline: nested <outline> elements inside a head/body document, where each node is an attribute bag rather than typed content. Its overwhelmingly common use is as the export and import format for a feed reader's subscription list.
A .csv file is a comma-separated values table: plain-text rows with commas between fields, optionally quoted. It is probably the most widely produced data format in existence, emitted by everything from banking portals to lab instruments. For this route the practical draw is supported by effectively every data tool ever written and human-readable and hand-editable in a pinch — balanced against no type information — Excel famously strips leading zeros and mangles dates on open, which is worth knowing before you commit a large batch.
Why convert OPML to CSV?
The practical trigger for this conversion is usually a mismatch: with .opml, semantics are conventional, not specified — a general OPML consumer cannot exist. Switching to .csv buys you supported by effectively every data tool ever written, which is why it is the better fit for exports from databases, CRMs, and banking systems. Because the conversion runs locally, trying it costs nothing but a few seconds of compute on your own machine.
OPML vs CSV at a glance
| Aspect | OPML outline (.opml) | CSV table (.csv) |
|---|---|---|
| Format type | Text-based — characters and structure, so there is no visual quality loss | Text-based — characters and structure, so there is no visual quality loss |
| How it stores data | nodes are <outline> elements whose meaning comes entirely from their attributes, not from element names | fields containing commas, quotes, or newlines are wrapped in double quotes with embedded quotes doubled — the rule that breaks every naive split-on-comma parser |
| Strongest at | exporting subscriptions from one feed reader and importing to another | exports from databases, CRMs, and banking systems |
| Weak spot | semantics are conventional, not specified — a general OPML consumer cannot exist | no type information — Excel famously strips leading zeros and mangles dates on open |
Pick CSV as the output
Select .csv in the output menu next to each file. The menu only offers targets this engine can genuinely produce, so if CSV is selectable, the route is real and validated.
Convert on your device
Press Convert. The font tables are parsed and rewritten locally with fonteditor-core; glyph outlines, hinting, and kerning survive the trip.
Verify and download
Each result is signature-checked before the download unlocks, so a failed encode can never masquerade as a valid CSV file. Outputs keep the original filename with the .csv extension.
OPML to CSV questions, answered
Will converting OPML to CSV lose quality?
There is no visual quality to lose — opml is text-oriented and csv is text-oriented, so the question is structural fidelity. Text, ordering, and basic structure are preserved; complex layout, embedded objects, and styling beyond the target's model are simplified.
Is it private to convert OPML files here?
Yes — the .opml file is processed inside your browser tab and never uploaded. The font tables are parsed and rewritten locally with fonteditor-core; glyph outlines, hinting, and kerning survive the trip. Close the tab and the file is gone from memory.
Where will the CSV file work?
Every spreadsheet, database, and programming language handles CSV, and browsers or text editors open it as plain text. The catch is dialect drift: delimiter, encoding, and quoting choices differ enough that robust importers always offer manual overrides.
Will the CSV file be bigger or smaller than my OPML?
It depends on the content: fields containing commas, quotes, or newlines are wrapped in double quotes with embedded quotes doubled — the rule that breaks every naive split-on-comma parser. Convert one representative file first and compare before batch-processing a large set.
What happens to the metadata in my OPML file?
In .opml, outline text and attributes, including feed URLs, are preserved. Deep hierarchy is flattened when the target is tabular. Re-encoding through the browser pipeline does not carry embedded metadata into the output, which doubles as a privacy scrub — check the exported file if you specifically need tags preserved.
