Convert ARI files to TOML online with no signup required.

ARI at a glance

ARI

Convert to ARI when maintaining compatibility with ARRI-originated raw image workflows or preserving frame data for grading and finishing.

It is appropriate for professional capture archives and controlled post-production pipelines.

TOML at a glance

TOML

Convert to TOML when the output is a human-maintained configuration or project metadata file that benefits from typed values and a clean structure.

It is a strong target for developer tooling, package configuration, and settings files that need to remain approachable in version control.

For API payloads or broadly standardized machine exchange, JSON may still be the more common option.
