How JSON to CSV Converter works

  1. Paste your JSON array of objects into the input box, or upload a .json file.
  2. Choose a delimiter: comma, semicolon, or tab.
  3. Toggle whether to include a header row.
  4. Review the generated CSV in the output preview.
  5. Download as a .csv file or copy it to your clipboard.
  • Export API response data (JSON) into a CSV for opening in Excel or Google Sheets.
  • Convert a JSON dataset to CSV for importing into a database tool.
  • Prepare JSON-formatted survey results for analysis in a spreadsheet.
  • Turn a JSON list of records into a semicolon-delimited CSV for European locale spreadsheets.
  • Quickly inspect the tabular shape of a JSON array during development.

Conversion happens entirely in your browser. Your JSON data is never uploaded to a server.

  • Input must be a top-level JSON array of objects — other JSON shapes need to be reshaped first.
  • Nested objects/arrays inside values are stringified rather than flattened into separate columns.
  • Very large JSON arrays may be slow to process since conversion happens in the browser.

JSON to CSV Converter

JSON to CSV Converter accepts a JSON array of objects and produces a flat CSV file. Choose delimiter (comma, semicolon, or tab), toggle header inclusion, and download the result or copy it to the clipboard. Error messages explain invalid or non-array JSON input.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What JSON structure is expected?

The tool expects a top-level JSON array of objects, e.g. [{"name":"Alice","age":30},...]. Objects with different keys are handled by using the union of all keys across all objects as column headers.

How are commas and quotes inside values handled?

Values containing the delimiter character, double quotes, or newlines are automatically wrapped in double quotes, and internal double quotes are escaped by doubling them — per the RFC 4180 CSV standard.

What if my JSON is a single object, not an array?

The tool expects a top-level array. Wrap a single object in square brackets, e.g. change {"name":"Alice"} to [{"name":"Alice"}], to convert it.

What happens with nested objects or arrays as values?

Nested objects and arrays are converted to their JSON string representation within the cell, since CSV is a flat format with no concept of nesting.

Can I choose comma, semicolon, or tab as the delimiter?

Yes. A delimiter selector lets you choose comma, semicolon, or tab to match the spreadsheet application or locale you're targeting.

Can I exclude the header row?

Yes, there's a toggle to include or omit the header row, useful if you're appending the output to an existing CSV file.

Will column order match my JSON object's key order?

Yes, for objects with consistent keys the column order follows the key order of the first object. Objects with extra keys add new columns at the end.
