How to Convert Between RDF Formats - Universal RDF Converter Guide

Step 1

Input Your RDF Data

Start by adding your RDF data in any format - Turtle, N-Triples, RDF/XML, or JSON-LD. You have a few easy ways:

•
Paste directly: Copy your RDF data and paste it in
•
Upload a file: Click "Upload" to select your RDF file
•
Try the sample: Click "Sample" to see an example

Example: Sample Turtle Input

Here's RDF data in Turtle format that you might want to convert:

@prefix schema: <http://schema.org/> .@prefix foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/> .<http://example.org/person/alice>a schema:Person, foaf:Person ;schema:name "Dr. Alice Johnson" ;schema:jobTitle "Data Scientist" .
Step 2

Select Output Format

Choose which RDF format you want to convert to. Powered by N3.js and jsonld.js, the converter supports:

•
Turtle (.ttl): Human-readable format with prefixes, easy to read and edit
•
N-Triples (.nt): Simple line-based format, great for bulk loading into Apache Jena
•
RDF/XML (.rdf): XML format for legacy systems
•
JSON-LD (.jsonld): JSON format for web APIs

Example: The Same Data in N-Triples

Converting the Turtle example above to N-Triples produces:

<http://example.org/person/alice> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://schema.org/Person> .<http://example.org/person/alice> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Person> .<http://example.org/person/alice> <http://schema.org/name> "Dr. Alice Johnson" .<http://example.org/person/alice> <http://schema.org/jobTitle> "Data Scientist" .

Notice how prefixes are expanded to full URIs - perfect for streaming and bulk processing!

Step 3

Export Converted RDF

Get your converted RDF data instantly! All your data is preserved perfectly:

•
Copy to clipboard: Quick copy to paste into your editor or database
•
Download as file: Save with the right file extension
•
Validate further: Use our RDF Validator to check the output

Example: JSON-LD Output

The same data in JSON-LD format for web APIs:

{"@context": {"schema": "http://schema.org/","foaf": "http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/"},"@id": "http://example.org/person/alice","@type": ["schema:Person", "foaf:Person"],"schema:name": "Dr. Alice Johnson","schema:jobTitle": "Data Scientist"}

Perfect for web APIs and database integration!

Frequently Asked Questions

Which RDF formats are supported?

We support all major RDF formats: Turtle (.ttl), N-Triples (.nt), RDF/XML (.rdf), N-Quads (.nq), and JSON-LD (.jsonld). All conversions follow W3C standards.

Do you preserve prefixes when converting?

Yes! Common prefixes (schema, foaf, dc, owl) are automatically detected and kept in Turtle/JSON-LD output for better readability.

Can I use this for database migration?

Yes! Convert between formats when moving data between different RDF databases. It's great for switching from one system to another.

Is the conversion lossless?

Completely lossless! All your triples, blank nodes, and datatypes are preserved perfectly. Nothing gets lost in the conversion.

Can I convert large RDF files?

We recommend files under 10MB for browser-based conversion. For larger files, consider validating first or using command-line tools.

Is this tool free?

Yes, it's completely free! No sign-up, no limits.
