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. 1

    Paste or upload your CSV

    Drop in a file or paste rows straight from a spreadsheet.

  2. 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. 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

Yes. The parser understands quoted values, escaped quotes, and commas inside quotes, following standard CSV rules.

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.
