INI to JSON Converter
Convert INI config files to JSON and back
Runs 100% in your browser — nothing is ever uploaded.
What is INI ⇄ JSON?
Parse classic INI files into clean JSON — [sections] become nested objects, booleans and numbers are auto-typed, comments are skipped — or convert JSON back into INI for legacy tools. Handles php.ini-style configs, .gitconfig-like files and Windows INI formats.
How to use INI ⇄ JSON
- Paste your INI file or JSON into the input box or click “Load sample” to try it.
- Adjust the options in the toolbar if needed (delimiter, table name, format …).
- Click the convert button — the result appears instantly in the output pane.
- Copy the result with one click or download it as a file.
ConvertLab FAQ
Is the INI to JSON converter free?
Yes — 100% free, no signup, no limits, no watermarks. Use it as often as you like.
Are comments preserved?
Comments (; and #) are ignored during parsing, as JSON has no comment syntax. Values keep their exact text unless they are clean numbers or true/false, which get proper JSON types.
Is my data uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser with JavaScript — your data never leaves your device, which makes the tool safe even for confidential files.
Are these converters free?
Yes — every ConvertLab tool is 100% free with no signup, no limits and no ad walls.

No. All conversions (JSON, CSV, XML, YAML, INI, .env) run entirely in your browser. Nothing ever leaves your device.
Do these tools work offline?
Yes — once the page is loaded, every converter works without an internet connection.
