Data

Convert TSV to JSON

Turn your TSV files into JSON in seconds. Everything happens in your browser: nothing is uploaded to any server.

TSVJSON

Drag your files here

Or paste them with Ctrl+V. They never leave your device.

Why convert TSV to JSON?

Like CSV: a single sheet and no formatting. As JSON any program or API can use it directly.

About the formats

TSV, tab-separated tables

TSV is like CSV but separates columns with tabs, so commas inside the text are not a problem.

Strengths: It pastes straight into a spreadsheet and is common for scientific data.

Limits: Like CSV: a single sheet and no formatting.

JSON, structured data for software

JSON is the data format of APIs and web apps: nested lists and objects as text.

Strengths: Every programming language reads it and it is easy to validate.

Limits: For a person, a table in JSON is harder to read than a spreadsheet.

How to convert TSV to JSON

  1. 1Drop your TSV files in the box, paste them or pick them from your device.
  2. 2Check that the target is JSON and open the options if you want to adjust it.
  3. 3Press “Convert” and download each JSON, or all of them in a ZIP.

Frequently asked questions

Is my TSV uploaded to a server to turn it into JSON?

No. The TSV to JSON conversion runs entirely in your browser, with code downloaded from this site and executed on your device. You can check it in the Network tab of the developer tools or by going offline after the page loads.

Is there a size limit?

Up to 1 GB on desktop and about 200 MB on mobile, although a huge spreadsheet may take a few seconds.

Can I convert several TSV files at once?

Yes. Drop as many TSV files as you like: several are converted at the same time, depending on your processor cores, and when they finish you can download each JSON or all of them in a ZIP.
