Convert CSV to TSV

Up to 3 files at once, 100 with Pro. Mixed formats are fine.

You can convert CSV to TSV free and without an account: drop the file above and the TSV is ready to download in a second or two. The conversion happens inside your own browser, so the file is never uploaded — it works on Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone and Android, and keeps working with the network switched off.

What CSV and TSV are for

A table as plain text. Every spreadsheet, database and analytics tool reads it.

Like CSV but tab separated, which avoids the comma-inside-a-field problem entirely.

How to convert CSV to TSV

  1. Drop your CSV file onto this page, or click to pick one.
  2. Choose TSV as the target. The conversion runs inside your browser — the file is never uploaded.
  3. Download the finished TSV file.

CSV to TSV: common questions

Are my CSV files uploaded anywhere?
No. This conversion runs entirely inside your browser, so the file never leaves your device. You can confirm it yourself: open the network tab of your browser's developer tools and watch that nothing is sent while the file converts.
Is converting CSV to TSV free?
Yes, without a limit on how many files you convert and with no watermark on the result. Files up to 100 MB are covered by the free plan.
Does converting CSV to TSV lose quality?
No. TSV stores the same content without discarding anything, so the result is identical in quality to the original.
Do I need to install anything to open TSV files?
No installation is needed for the conversion itself — it runs in the browser you already have. Opening the TSV afterwards needs whatever software normally handles Tab-Separated Values on your device.
