How do I convert CSV to JSON online?
Paste your CSV data or upload a file, and the JSON output appears instantly. Choose between array of objects or arrays format, then copy or download.
What CSV delimiters are supported?
Comma (,), semicolon (;), tab, and pipe (|) are auto-detected. You can also manually select the delimiter if auto-detection isn't correct.
Does the first row become JSON keys?
By default, yes. The first row is treated as column headers that become JSON property names. Toggle this off to get arrays instead of objects.
Is my data safe when converting CSV to JSON online?
Yes, this converter runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your data never leaves your device or gets uploaded to any server.
Can I convert large CSV files?
Files up to 50MB are supported. Processing happens locally in your browser. For very large files, there may be a brief delay.
How do I get array of arrays instead of objects?
Change the "Output Format" setting to "Array of Arrays" to get a 2D array like [["col1", "col2"], ["val1", "val2"]].
Why is my JSON showing escape characters?
Special characters in your CSV (quotes, newlines) are properly escaped in JSON output. This is correct behavior for valid JSON.
Can I convert JSON back to CSV?
Yes, use our JSON to CSV tool for the reverse conversion. It supports nested objects and arrays with full formatting options.
How do I handle CSV with quoted fields?
Quoted fields containing commas or newlines are automatically parsed correctly following RFC 4180 CSV standards.
All processing happens in your browser. Your data never leaves your device.
