Convert TSV to CSV

Tab-separated values (TSV) is another simple and widely used format for storing tabular data. Like CSV, it's easy to read and create.

Row delimiter

The row delimiter in TSV data is usually a new line character (LF) or a carriage return plus a new line character (CRLF).

We'll automatically detect and parse the rows correctly, so you don't need to worry about it.

Value separator

In TSV files, the value separator is typically a tab character, but it can vary depending on the software used to create the file.

Character encoding

The character encoding of your TSV file might differ based on the software you used to create it.

If you're not sure about the character encoding, don't worry. We'll try to guess it automatically if it's not specified.

CSV (Comma-Separated Values) is a simple format for storing tabular data in plain text. Each row is a data record, and columns are separated by commas (or other delimiters).

Technical Details

CSV files represent data in a flat table structure. The first row typically contains column headers, and each subsequent row contains values. Fields containing commas, newlines, or quotes may be enclosed in double quotes.

Advantages

• Efficient storage for tabular data
• Human-readable and editable in text editors

Limitations

• No support for nested data structures
• No standardized way to represent data types
• Special characters may require escaping
• No built-in support for formulas or calculations
