CSV to TSV converter
About CSV ⇄ TSV
The CSV to TSV converter switches the delimiter of a table while keeping quoted data intact. TSV is handy when cells contain many commas or when you paste into a spreadsheet.
How it works
Parse, then convert
The source is parsed into rows and cells before the new delimiter is written. Commas or tabs inside quoted fields stay part of the value.
Both directions
Use the swap control to turn CSV into TSV or TSV back into CSV.
Quoting only where needed
Values are quoted only when their content requires it. Escaped quotes, Unicode and multiline cells are kept.
Frequently asked questions
Is TSV just CSV with tabs?
Mostly. A correct conversion still has to parse quotes, so delimiters inside cells are not treated as separators.
Can I paste TSV into Excel or Google Sheets?
Yes. Spreadsheet apps split tab-separated rows into columns when you paste them.
Is my data uploaded?
No. Conversion runs in your browser.
