How to convert JSON to CSV
Step 1 – Paste JSON Data
- Copy an array of objects (e.g., from a database export or API response) and paste it into the editor.
- The tool also accepts a single object, but arrays work best for tabular CSV format.
- Use the Import button to load large JSON files directly from your computer.
Step 2 – Customize CSV Format
- converter.jsonToCsv.guide.step2.item1Label Flatten Data: Enable "Flatten Nested Objects" to explode nested JSON (e.g., user.address.city) into separate columns.
- converter.jsonToCsv.guide.step2.item2Label Headers: Toggle "Include Headers" to show/hide the first row with field names.
- converter.jsonToCsv.guide.step2.item3Label Delimiter: Choose standard delimiters (Comma, Semicolon, Tab) to match your target application (Excel, Google Sheets, etc.).
Step 3 – Generate and Export
- The CSV updates in real-time. Review the raw text output to ensure quotes and delimiters look correct.
- Click "Copy" for quick pasting into spreadsheets.
- Use "Download" to save a .csv file, compatible with nearly all data analysis tools.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the JSON to CSV conversion handle nested objects?
When 'Flatten Nested Objects' is enabled, nested objects are flattened using dot notation (e.g., 'user.name', 'user.email'). When disabled, nested objects are preserved as JSON strings within CSV cells, maintaining their original structure.
What happens to arrays in JSON during CSV conversion?
Arrays are typically converted to JSON string format within CSV cells. For arrays of objects, each object becomes a separate row if the JSON structure allows it.
Can I customize the CSV delimiter?
Yes, you can choose from different delimiters including comma, semicolon, tab, and pipe characters. This helps with compatibility across different systems and regions.
What does the 'Use Quotes' option do?
When 'Use Quotes' is enabled, CSV fields are wrapped in double quotes, which is standard for proper CSV format. When disabled, all quotes are removed from the output for cleaner appearance. Note that disabling quotes may cause parsing issues if your data contains commas, newlines, or other special characters.
Is my data secure?
Yes, all data processing happens entirely in your browser. Your JSON data is never sent to any server, ensuring complete privacy and security.
