JSON to CSV Converter
Convert JSON arrays, nested records, and REST API payloads into clean, RFC-4180 compliant CSV or TSV spreadsheets for Excel and Google Sheets.
Selecting a file allows the browser to read it locally. Files are processed locally in your browser when using supported tools. No upload required for supported workflows.

Fast Local JSON to CSV Transformation
The JSON to CSV Converter transforms hierarchical JSON arrays, nested records, and API responses into RFC-4180 compliant CSV or TSV spreadsheets directly inside your browser. With complete offline execution, sensitive client rosters, internal financial payloads, and telemetry dumps are processed locally without cloud server transmission.
Working between modern API JSON structures and spreadsheet applications like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets frequently encounters hurdles with nested objects, array fields, and character encoding. This tool automatically flattens deep object trees and formats arrays safely for tabular viewing.
Equipped with delimiter controls, Excel-friendly UTF-8 BOM injection, and customizable array serialization, the utility produces clean spreadsheets ready for financial auditing, business reporting, and data analysis.
Core Tool Capabilities
- Arbitrary JSON Structure Support: Accepts tabular array of objects, 2D matrix arrays, single dictionary objects, and Newline Delimited JSON (NDJSON) payloads.
- Deep Nested Object Flattening: Recursively unrolls nested objects into clean dot-notated columns (e.g., specs.display.resolution) to preserve all data depth.
- Custom Array Field Serialization: Choose how array fields are encoded: joined by commas, separated by pipes, extracted as the first element, or retained as JSON strings.
- Microsoft Excel UTF-8 BOM Compatibility: Includes an optional UTF-8 Byte Order Mark (BOM) header so Excel opens multilingual international characters cleanly without character corruption.
- Configurable Separators & Delimiters: Generate standard comma-separated (CSV), tab-separated (TSV), semicolon, or pipe-delimited outputs with standardized RFC-4180 quoting.
- Instant Grid Preview & Export: Inspect output rows, verify column alignment, and copy the CSV string to your clipboard or download the spreadsheet file.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are my JSON records uploaded to an external server?
- No. The conversion algorithm runs 100% inside your web browser. No data, payloads, or file names are ever transmitted across the network.
- How does the tool handle nested JSON objects?
- When 'Flatten nested objects' is checked, inner properties are converted into dot-separated column headers (e.g. 'address.city') so that no nested data is lost.
- Why do international characters sometimes look corrupted in Excel?
- Excel requires a UTF-8 Byte Order Mark (BOM) to correctly recognize non-ASCII characters in CSV files. Enable the 'Add Excel UTF-8 BOM' option to ensure smooth character display in Microsoft Excel.
- Can I convert JSON containing arrays into CSV?
- Yes. You can configure array fields to be joined with pipes ('tag1 | tag2'), joined with commas, reduced to the first item, or preserved as raw JSON text strings.
- Does the tool support Newline Delimited JSON (NDJSON)?
- Yes. If your input consists of multiple JSON objects separated by newlines, the parser automatically parses each line and combines them into a single CSV spreadsheet.
- What is the maximum file size supported?
- Because processing takes place in your local browser memory, files with tens of thousands of records convert in seconds. Capacity is limited only by your computer's RAM.
