CSV to JSON Converter
Paste CSV data and instantly get a JSON array of objects. The first row is used as column headers (keys), and each subsequent row becomes an object with those keys. The parser handles quoted fields, commas within quotes, and escaped double quotes correctly.
This is handy when you're importing spreadsheet exports or CSV files into a web application, API, or database that expects JSON. The output is pretty-printed with two-space indentation so you can inspect it easily before copying.
Everything runs in your browser. Your data stays on your device.

Frequently asked questions
Does the first row need to be headers?▼
Yes. The tool treats the first row as column headers, which become the keys in each JSON object. If your CSV doesn't have headers, add them before converting.
How are quoted fields handled?▼
Fields enclosed in double quotes are parsed correctly, including fields that contain commas, newlines, or escaped double quotes (two consecutive double quotes).
What delimiter is supported?▼
The tool uses comma as the delimiter, which is the standard CSV format. Tab-separated or semicolon-separated files should be converted to comma-separated before using this tool.
