Convert ORG to YML
Fast, free, and secure ORG to YML conversion. No registration required.
This page converts org to yml using your device's own processing power. No cloud. No upload. Just results. Converting between Org Mode Document and YAML Data lets you combine the benefits of extremely powerful system for notes, tasks, scheduling and publishing with extremely human-readable with comment support. Format-specific metadata and encoding parameters are preserved whenever the target format supports them. There's no daily limit on free conversions — use Xonvert as many times as you need, every day.
Why Switch from ORG to YML?
There are strong reasons to convert ORG to YML:
Search engine benefits: For web content, YAML Data is widely recognized by search engines, potentially improving your content's discoverability.
Privacy advantage: Converting locally with Xonvert means sensitive Org Mode Document files never leave your device during the YAML Data conversion.
Social media ready: Platforms like Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook prefer YAML Data format for uploads, ensuring your content displays correctly.
Cross-device access: YAML Data files open seamlessly on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android — unlike Org Mode Document, which may require specialized software.
Embedding support: YAML Data files embed cleanly in websites, documents, and presentations without requiring additional plugins or viewers.

Will You Lose Quality Converting ORG to YML?
Org Mode Document encodes data using mathematical algorithms that preserve every data point. YAML Data prioritizes exact data preservation. The conversion maps between these approaches intelligently. Org Mode Document's known limitation — requires Emacs for full functionality — is resolved when converting to YAML Data, which offers extremely human-readable with comment support. The Org Mode Document source uses lossless encoding. The YAML Data output uses lossless encoding. Since both share the same compression philosophy, quality transfer is highly efficient.
Extracting structured data from Org Mode Document documents to YAML Data data format involves parsing the document content and organizing it into a structured representation. Tabular data, lists, and key-value pairs are identified and converted. This is useful for data migration, analysis, and programmatic processing of document content.
The ORG to YML conversion applies format-appropriate algorithms to ensure maximum data fidelity. Supports TODO items, clocking, agendas and code blocks

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this work on my phone or tablet?▼
Yes. Xonvert works on any device with a modern browser — iPhone, iPad, Android phones and tablets all supported.
Can I undo a conversion?▼
Since your original ORG file is never modified, there's nothing to undo. Your source file remains exactly as it was — only a new YML copy is created.
What if my ORG file won't convert?▼
Ensure the file isn't corrupted or DRM-protected. Try a different file to verify. If issues persist, the file may use an unsupported codec variant.
How many times can I convert ORG to YML per day?▼
There's no daily limit for free users. Convert as many files as you need, as often as you need. PRO users get additional batch processing features.
Can I use this converter for commercial purposes?▼
Yes. There are no restrictions on how you use your converted files. Convert ORG to YML for personal, educational, or commercial projects freely.
Can I convert YML back to ORG?▼
Yes! Xonvert supports reverse conversion too. Visit the YML to ORG converter page to convert back.
Can I convert ORG to YML without losing transparency?▼
Transparency is a concept specific to image formats. For document files, all content data is preserved during conversion.
