CSV to JSON converterParse CSV text (with header row) into a JSON array of objects, handling quoted fields. Drop a file in rather than pasting it — it is read in your browser and never uploaded.JSON to CSV converterTurn a JSON array of objects into comma-separated values with a header row. Takes a whole file, so a long log does not have to go through the clipboard.YAML Formatter / ValidatorTidy YAML — normalize indentation, convert tabs to spaces and flag tab-indent errors.CSV to Markdown tableTurn CSV into a Markdown table, quoting and all: a field may hold the delimiter, a line break or a pipe and the table still lines up. Comma, semicolon (French Excel), tab or pipe, detected or forced.CSV transposeSwap the rows and columns of delimited data. Paste the text or drop the file; nothing leaves the page either way.JSON comment removerStrip // and /* */ comments from JSONC to make it valid JSON. Drop a file in rather than pasting it — it is read in your browser and never uploaded.JSON flattenerFlatten a nested JSON object into one level of path keys — and put it back together again. Arrays are indexed as user.roles[0] or user.roles.0, values keep their type, and an empty object stays visible as {}. Takes a whole file, so a long log does not have to go through the clipboard.JSON formatterFormat, beautify or minify JSON — with instant validation.

Frequently asked questions

What is CSV / JSON / YAML converter?

Convert between CSV, TSV, JSON and YAML, and see the rows as a table.

When would I actually use this?

Finding out how big a thing will be before you make it: how many gigabytes an hour of footage takes, how long a file needs on the connection you have, how large a photo prints before it goes soft, what bitrate fits the budget you were given.

What is the most common mistake?

Taking the advertised connection speed as the transfer speed. A 100 Mb/s line is megabits, the file is in megabytes, and the eight-fold difference between them is where most download estimates go wrong — before overhead and contention take their own share.

How is CSV / JSON / YAML converter different from CSV to JSON converter?

They sit next to each other but answer different questions: CSV to JSON converter is the one to open when you need it to parse CSV text (with header row) into a JSON array of objects, handling quoted fields. Drop a file in rather than pasting it — it is read in your browser and never uploaded. Pick whichever matches what you're starting from — both are free.

Is there a tool for the next step?

JSON to CSV converter is the closest one after this: Turn a JSON array of objects into comma-separated values with a header row. Takes a whole file, so a long log does not have to go through the clipboard.

Where do the figures come from?

Byte prefixes follow the IEC convention where a kibibyte is 1 024 bytes and a kilobyte is 1 000 — drive makers use the second, operating systems often report the first, and a disk that shrinks on arrival is that gap and nothing else. Print sizing assumes 300 dpi unless you change it.
