CSV to TSV Converter
Paste a CSV and download a clean tab-separated TSV file.
Convert CSV to TSV (tab-separated values) in one click. Quoting is removed where possible and reapplied where needed for fields containing tabs, quotes, or newlines. Header row is preserved.
How it works
- Paste your CSV into the editor (delimiter is preset to Comma).
- Confirm the output delimiter (preset to Tab).
- Unlock the result and download the .tsv file.
Use cases
- Convert a comma CSV into a TSV for a tab-aware data tool.
- Move a CSV out of a spreadsheet and into a script that expects TSV.
- Re-encode a CSV as TSV when the data contains many commas inside fields.
- Prep a CSV for import into a tool that doesn't handle quoting well.
Frequently asked questions
What if my values contain tabs?
Handled automatically. Values containing a tab, quote, or newline are wrapped in quotes in the output so a strict TSV parser reads them correctly.
Is the header preserved?
Yes. The first row is kept exactly as-is at the top when the header option is ticked.
What's the difference vs just renaming the file?
Renaming doesn't replace the delimiter. This converter re-encodes the rows with tab separators and reapplies quoting where needed, so the output is a real TSV file.
Is there a size limit?
Up to 2 MB of input per job, comfortably tens of thousands of rows.
How long is the result kept?
The converted .tsv is auto-deleted after 7 days. Re-download is available during that window via the secure link.
