Avro to Protobuf

Convert Avro schema to Protobuf schema โ€” instantly in your browser, nothing uploaded.

Protobuf schema

An Avro schema (.avsc) describes the exact shape and types of records for Kafka, Hadoop and other big-data pipelines, and a .proto file defines strongly-typed messages for Protocol Buffers, used by gRPC and many microservices. This free tool converts one into the other entirely inside your browser, so your data is never uploaded to any server. Paste your Avro schema and the Protobuf schema appears instantly โ€” then copy it or download it as a file. No signup, and it works offline once loaded.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use this Avro schema to Protobuf schema tool?

Paste your input into the box above and the result appears instantly below โ€” nothing to press and nothing to upload. It runs entirely in your browser, so you can copy the output or download it as a file. If the input has an error, a clear message tells you exactly what to fix.

Is it free and private?

Yes on both counts. It is completely free with no signup or limits, and it is private because everything runs locally in your browser โ€” your data is never sent to a server. That makes it safe for production schemas, tokens and payloads, and it keeps working offline once the page has loaded.

What is Protobuf schema?

A .proto file defines strongly-typed messages for Protocol Buffers, used by gRPC and many microservices. Converting your Avro schema into Protobuf schema lets you reuse the same structure in tools that expect Protobuf schema, without rewriting it by hand.

Is there a size limit?

There is no fixed limit because nothing is uploaded โ€” the only constraint is your device's memory, so typical inputs process instantly. The engine loads on first use and is cached afterwards, so repeat runs start immediately.

Does it work on mobile and every browser?

Yes. It runs in any modern browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone and Android with nothing to install, and works offline once loaded. The result can be copied or downloaded on any device.
