How csv to tsv converter works

CSV fields are parsed with quoted-field support and re-escaped only when tabs, quotes or line breaks require it in TSV output. The conversion changes field separators without guessing or changing cell values.

Important limitations

Rows must have the same number of columns. Values are kept as text and no spreadsheet formulas or types are inferred.

Check the result before using it

Try the output in the app, device or workflow that requested it. Review the visible content and format before replacing an original file or sharing a generated link. Browsers and other services can handle edge cases differently, so keep a source copy when the input matters. This tool does not guarantee that a receiving service will accept every result.

Example input

name,city,note
Ada,London,"Likes tea, coffee"
Linus,Helsinki,"Uses ""quotes"""

Does TSV support commas inside a value?

Yes. Commas are ordinary characters in TSV cells. Tabs, quotes and newlines are escaped using standard double-quote conventions.

Is input uploaded?

Processing takes place in your browser. This tool does not send your input or selected files to a conversion API.
