PROPERTIES to INI Converter Online — Free & Private
Export Java .properties to flat INI lines — a direct niche path; for GitOps YAML/TOML migration, prefer Properties → YAML or Properties → TOML.
Developer notes
• Dotted keys such as app.name stay flat (app.name=value) — they do not become [app] sections. • For nested INI sections, use Properties → YAML/TOML or JSON → INI instead. • No formatting options in v1 — same honesty as YAML → INI. • Typical Spring bundles paste fine in desktop Chrome.
Use cases
• Legacy Windows/PHP stacks that still expect .ini syntax from Java exports. • Quick flat exports alongside Properties → YAML or Properties → TOML migration paths. • One-off previews before committing config PRs.
About these options
CSV exports: choose a delimiter (Auto follows locale — semicolon on /fr), RFC-minimal vs always-quoted fields, line endings, and whether to emit a header row. CSV imports: delimiter + whether row 1 holds column names (Auto delimiter follows locale only for convenience). JSON output (XML, YAML, or CSV sources): indentation (including compact one-line) and optional recursive key sort. JSON → XML: toggle pretty-printing and indent width. YAML output: indent width, readable vs tighter layout, and deterministic string quoting (there is no source YAML file to “preserve”). XML comments are not represented in the intermediate JSON tree.

PROPERTIES → INI FAQ
Flat dotted keys only
Why are keys not nested under [app] sections?
Java .properties uses flat dotted keys. We preserve that shape in INI instead of inventing sections from dots.
Can I round-trip with INI → Properties?
Flat INI without [sections] round-trips. Sectioned INI from other tools is not valid input for INI → Properties.
Are there formatting options?
Not in v1 — output follows fixed key=value rules, matching JSON → INI.
