Asteria

PLIST to XML

Turn Apple property list files into XML document files on your own Mac, Windows or Linux computer. Asteria is free, works offline, and never uploads your files.

How to do it

  1. Download Asteria and open it. It's free and needs no account.
  2. Drop your PLIST files onto its window, or press ⌘O (Ctrl O on Windows) to choose them. Drop as many as you like.
  3. Type plist to xmland pick Convert to XML. Write as XML, lists as repeated <item>.
  4. Press ⌘↵ (Ctrl ↵ on Windows) to save. The XML files appear next to the originals, which stay exactly as they were.

What it needs

Nothing. This conversion is built into Asteria, so it works the moment the app is open, even offline.

How it was tested

A real PLIST file was converted on macOS on Apple silicon and Linux, and the XML that came out was opened and checked with Python parser to make sure it is what it says it is.
