Frequently Asked Questions

What is a plist file?
A Property List (plist) is Apple's standard format for storing configuration data. It uses XML to represent dictionaries, arrays, strings, numbers, booleans, dates, and binary data.
Where are plist files used?
Plist files are used throughout Apple's ecosystem: Info.plist for app metadata, preference files in ~/Library/Preferences, launchd configurations, and Xcode project settings.
Does this handle all plist types?
Yes. The converter supports dict, array, string, integer, real, boolean (true/false), date, and data elements.
Can I edit binary plist files?
This tool handles XML plist format. Binary plists need to be converted to XML first using 'plutil -convert xml1' on macOS.
Is my data safe?
All conversion happens in your browser using the DOMParser API. No data is sent to any server.
