Documents & Markup SVG → YAML

SVG to YAML

The SVG to YAML tool serialises your SVG DOM as a YAML tree. Each element becomes a mapping with its tag, attributes and children. YAML is easier to diff than raw SVG when tracking changes in version control.

How the svg to yaml tool works

The workbench above is a self-contained web application. When you drop a file, the browser reads it locally, runs the conversion, and writes the result to a downloadable blob. Nothing is uploaded to any server, and the tool keeps working even if you disconnect after loading the page.

Frequently asked questions

Can I convert back?

Yes. The yaml-to-svg tool restores the original SVG from the YAML representation.
