Worked Examples
Simple table
Input CSV:
name,age,city
Alice,30,London
Bob,25,Paris
Output JSON contains objects with name, age, and city keys for each row.
Quoted fields with commas
Input CSV:
product,description,price
Widget,“Small, round widget”,9.99
Gadget,“Includes ""turbo"" mode”,24.50
The description field contains a comma and escaped quotes — both are handled correctly.
JSON back to CSV

Supported CSV Format
This tool follows the RFC 4180 standard. Fields are separated by commas.
If a field contains a comma, newline, or double-quote, it must be enclosed in double quotes.
A literal double-quote inside a quoted field is escaped as two consecutive double-quotes ("").
The first row is always interpreted as column headers.
FAQ
What CSV format is supported?
Standard RFC 4180 CSV: comma-separated values with optional double-quote escaping. Quoted fields may contain commas, newlines, and escaped quotes.
How are headers handled?
The first row of your CSV is always treated as headers. Each subsequent row becomes a JSON object whose keys are the header values.
Is there a maximum file size?
There is no hard limit — processing happens entirely in your browser. Practically, files up to a few MB convert instantly; very large files may slow down depending on your device.
Is my data sent anywhere?
No. All conversion runs 100% in your browser using JavaScript. Your data never leaves your machine.
