Convert TSV to CSV Online

Tab-separated value files are common outputs from bioinformatics software, database query tools, and certain data export pipelines. However, most data tools, spreadsheets, and APIs expect comma-separated CSV format. This converter changes the delimiter from tab to comma and adds the necessary quoting for any fields that contain commas, double quotes, or newlines — following the RFC 4180 standard for CSV. The result is a properly formatted CSV that opens correctly in Excel, Google Sheets, and any standard CSV parser. Paste your TSV content directly into the tool or upload a file, and download the converted CSV in seconds. The conversion runs entirely in your browser with no server upload required.

FAQ

Do I need to worry about fields containing tabs?
If your TSV data contains tab characters within field values, this converter detects them and handles them safely in the CSV output by quoting those fields.
Will the header row be preserved?
Yes. The converter treats the first row the same as all other rows — it simply changes the delimiter, so headers are preserved intact.
Can Excel open the resulting CSV directly?
Yes. The output uses standard comma delimiters and RFC 4180 quoting that Excel, Google Sheets, and LibreOffice Calc all recognize correctly.
