Frequently Asked Questions
- Is my data safe?
- Yes. Every conversion runs entirely inside your browser. No data is ever transmitted to a server. The tool works offline once loaded.
- What is the maximum file size?
- There is no hard limit. Files under 1 MB convert instantly. Files 1–10 MB show a progress indicator. Files over 10 MB prompt a warning and run in a background thread to keep the browser responsive.
- Why does my TSV fail to parse?
- Common causes are trailing commas, single-quoted strings, unquoted keys, or missing closing brackets. The converter auto-repairs many of these and tells you exactly what it changed.
- Can I convert multiple files at once?
- The tool handles one file at a time. For bulk conversion, consider the csvjson CLI or API.

How it works
Tabs become commas, quoting handled automatically
Any fields containing commas in the original TSV are quoted in the CSV output so the structure is preserved.
Example
Database export to CSV
id name city 1 Alice New York 2 Bob San Francisco
id,name,city 1,Alice,New York 2,Bob,San Francisco
Frequently asked questions
How are fields with commas in the tab-separated data handled?
They're automatically quoted in the CSV output, so `New York, NY` becomes `"New York, NY"` — preserving the value.
