{ } How to use
- Paste your TSV with the column names on the first line.
- Select Process to turn each remaining line into an object.
- Copy the JSON, or download it as a .json file.
{ } How it works
TSV to JSON works on the text you provide. Select Process ▸ and it runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server — then shows the result in the Output panel.
Input
- TSV input — paste or type your input in the left panel (use Sample for an example)
Output
JSON — copy it, download it, or switch the Output panel to Tree view to explore it.
{ } Common uses
- Convert a selection copied out of a spreadsheet — copied cells arrive as tab-separated text.
- Turn the output of a tab-emitting command into structured data.
- Build a JSON fixture from a table someone sent you.
{ } Limitations
- Every value comes out as a string. Numbers and booleans are not guessed at.
- Fields are split on tabs with no quoting, so a value that itself contains a tab cannot be represented.
- Blank lines are skipped, and a row with fewer cells than the header gets empty strings for the rest.
{ } FAQ
Is my data uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser — your files never leave your device.
Can I process more than one file at once?
This tool works on one input at a time.
Is this tool free?
Yes — it’s completely free and needs no sign-up.
Can I paste straight from Excel or Google Sheets?
Yes. Copied cells arrive on the clipboard as tab-separated text, which is exactly what this tool reads.
My data is separated by commas, not tabs.
Use CSV to JSON instead — it also understands quoted fields.
