How to use CSV to JSON
- 1
Add CSV input
Drop a CSV file or paste CSV text into the left pane. Toggle the header-row option if your data has no headers.
- 2
Choose indentation
Pick two spaces, four spaces, or tab indentation for the output JSON.
- 3
Read the live JSON
The right pane updates as you type. With headers on, you get an array of keyed objects; with headers off, an array of arrays.
- 4
Download the .json file
Click Download to save the result, or Copy to put it on your clipboard.
Frequently asked questions
- Does this tool upload my CSV?
- No. Every parse, transform, and download runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript and Web Workers. The file never leaves your device — there is no upload endpoint and no server-side processing.
- What if a CSV cell contains a comma or quote?
- PapaParse handles RFC 4180 quoting, so quoted fields with embedded commas, quotes, and newlines convert correctly.
- Can I get an array of arrays instead of objects?
- Yes — turn off the header-row toggle. Each row becomes a string array in the same order as the input columns.
