About YAML Tools
YAML is the de-facto config format for Kubernetes, Docker Compose, CI pipelines, and more. Our tools parse and format YAML client-side so your sensitive configs never leave your device.
Frequently asked questions
Does YAML formatting preserve comments?
Yes. Our YAML formatter preserves comments using js-yaml's document API, unlike many formatters that strip them.
Is my YAML config uploaded anywhere?
No. All YAML processing happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your configs — including Kubernetes secrets and CI credentials — never touch a server.
Can I format multi-document YAML?
Yes. Files with `---` separators between documents are fully supported.
