- **Category:** Format Conversion

- **Keywords:** GraphML, GEXF, DOT, network graph, edge list, adjacency matrix, Cytoscape, centrality

## Overview

Preserves node labels, weights, groups, and custom attributes together with edge direction, weight, and relation type. The result includes degree, Brandes betweenness, clustering coefficient, downloadable converted data, and a Cytoscape.js interactive preview.

## Inputs

- **Network Input** (textarea): Paste GraphML, GEXF, DOT, an adjacency matrix, or edge-list CSV
- **Network File** (file)
- **Input Format** (select)
- **Output Format** (select)
- **Edge Direction** (select)

## When to use

- Convert a network dataset to GraphML, GEXF, DOT, an adjacency matrix, or edge-list CSV.
- Inspect node connectivity, betweenness, and clustering before exporting the converted network.
- Standardize network data while preserving labels, weights, groups, attributes, directions, and relation types.

## How it works

- Paste network data into Network Input or upload one network file.
- Choose an input format or leave format detection set to Auto detect.
- Select an output format and choose whether to preserve, force, or remove edge direction.
- Review the calculated network metrics and Cytoscape.js preview, then download the converted data.

## Use cases

- Researchers can convert relationship data between edge-list CSV and GraphML for network analysis workflows.
- Analysts can inspect central nodes and connectivity metrics in a visual network preview.
- Data teams can transform adjacency matrices or DOT files into a format suited to their next graph-analysis step.

## Frequently asked questions

### Which network formats can I convert?

The tool supports GraphML, GEXF, DOT, adjacency matrices, and edge-list CSV as input and output formats.

### Can I paste network data instead of uploading a file?

Yes. Paste GraphML, GEXF, DOT, adjacency matrix, or edge-list CSV content into Network Input.

### Does the converter preserve edge direction?

Yes. Choose Preserve input to retain the source direction, or force the network to directed or undirected mode.

### Which network metrics are included?

The result includes degree, Brandes betweenness, and clustering coefficient metrics.

### Can I preview the converted network?

Yes. The result includes an interactive Cytoscape.js preview of the network.
