TSV to CSV
Tab-sep → comma-sep
TSV to CSV is on the roadmap. In the meantime, explore the other data & converters.
What is TSV to CSV?
Convert tab-separated values (TSV) to comma-separated values (CSV) with proper RFC-4180 quoting — fields containing commas, newlines, or quotes are wrapped in double quotes and embedded quotes are escaped. Useful for moving data between spreadsheet apps, ETL pipelines that prefer comma delimiters, or systems where the TSV format is not supported.
How do I use TSV to CSV?
- Paste TSV text into the input panel.
- The CSV output appears immediately on the right.
- Copy or download the converted result.
When should I use TSV to CSV?
TSV to CSV is for delimiter swap. To go from CSV to JSON or XML, use CSV ↔ JSON or XML to CSV. For spreadsheet-to-CSV conversion, use Excel to CSV.
Why convert TSV to CSV at all?
TSV uses tabs, CSV uses commas. Some tools insist on one or the other. CSV is more widely supported across spreadsheet, database, and ETL tools — TSV is mainly used for data that contains commas freely.
What if my data contains commas?
Fields containing commas, newlines, or quotes are wrapped in double quotes per RFC 4180. Embedded double quotes are escaped as "" (two double quotes).
Can I go the other way (CSV to TSV)?
Yes — paste CSV first, then swap. Or use the delimiter option in CSV ↔ JSON or Excel to CSV (which support tab as a delimiter directly).
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Your files never leave your device, and there is no server component for this tool.
