Turn spreadsheets into JSON
CSV is what you export from a spreadsheet; JSON is what code actually wants. Converting between them is a constant chore, and the data involved is often exactly the kind you should not paste into an unknown website: customer lists, order exports, internal reports. This converter parses the file in the page, detects the header row, and gives you a clean array of objects — and it runs in reverse when you need to hand JSON back to a spreadsheet.
How to convert CSV to JSON
- 1
Paste or upload your CSV
Drop in a file or paste rows straight from a spreadsheet.
- 2
Check the detected headers
The first row becomes the object keys. The parsed JSON updates live so you can confirm the columns lined up.
- 3
Copy the JSON
Take the array of objects, or switch direction to turn an existing JSON array back into CSV.
Good to know
- Output is an array of objects keyed by column name, which is the shape almost every API and script expects.
- Quoted fields containing commas are handled correctly, so addresses and free-text notes survive the round trip.
- All values arrive as strings, which is exactly what CSV can express — cast numbers and booleans on your side afterwards.
- Nothing is uploaded, which is what makes this usable with real customer or financial exports.
What people use it for
- Turning a spreadsheet export into seed data or a fixture for an application
- Reshaping a client's CSV into the JSON body an API import expects
- Converting a JSON API response back into CSV so a colleague can open it in Excel
Frequently asked questions

Can I convert JSON back to CSV?+
Yes: switch the mode and paste a JSON array of objects to get CSV with a header row.
Is my data sent to a server?+
No. Converting happens entirely in your browser using built-in web APIs. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or logged.
