About the CSV / TSV Converter
Convert pasted or imported comma-separated values (CSV) into tab-separated values (TSV), or switch back to CSV for other software.
Formula or method
Fields are parsed using quote-aware delimiter rules. The output serializer quotes values only when they contain the selected delimiter, quotes or new lines.
Worked example
A CSV containing Name,Score and Ava,95 converts to two columns separated by tab characters, suitable for pasting into a spreadsheet.
How to use the tool
Start with the example values above, then replace each input with your own figures. The results update immediately. Review the units, denominators, and assumptions before using any number in an important decision.
Assumptions and limitations
CSV delimiters can vary by region. Choose the correct input delimiter if auto-detection fails, especially for data containing delimiters inside quoted column headings. Converted spreadsheet data can contain untrusted formulas.
Frequently asked questions
What's the practical difference between CSV and TSV?
CSV typically uses commas and TSV uses tab characters between columns. TSV can be convenient when copying a table directly into Excel or Google Sheets.
