CSV to JSON Converter

Convert CSV files to JSON format with customizable structure options. Choose between array of objects or array of arrays format.

CSV to JSON Converter transforms your spreadsheet data into structured JSON entirely inside your browser — your file never leaves your device and no account is required. Paste CSV directly or load a file up to 50 MB, then choose the output shape that fits your use case: an array of objects (with column headers as keys) for REST API payloads, or a flat array of arrays for compact data exchange. Custom delimiter support handles comma, semicolon, tab, and pipe formats, and a live preview lets you verify the structure before you download the result.
