How to convert CSV to JSON (step-by-step)
Add your CSV
Upload a file or paste text.
Configure input (optional)
Confirm delimiter (, ; \t etc.) and encoding (UTF-8 default).
Preview & validate
Check column detection, row counts, and any issues flagged.
Transform data
Standardize casing, replace values, format dates, add prefixes/suffixes, math operations.
Filter & aggregate
Keep only the rows you need; roll up groups with summary stats.
Clean & split
Remove empties/duplicates, trim whitespace, split by category or chunk.
Convert & export
Choose Pretty or Minified JSON; optionally export YAML/XML/HTML/SQL.
Example
Sample CSV
name,age,active,joined
John Doe,30,true,2020-01-15
Jane Smith,25,false,2021-03-22Converted JSON (pretty)
[
{ "name": "John Doe", "age": 30, "active": true, "joined": "2020-01-15" },
{ "name": "Jane Smith", "age": 25, "active": false, "joined": "2021-03-22" }
]Common use cases
Web Development
Import CSV data into web apps that consume JSON
API Testing
Prepare fixtures for APIs and testing
Analytics
Convert marketing exports for dashboards
Database Import
Normalize spreadsheets for NoSQL databases
Data Processing
Clean messy CSVs before ETL or analytics
Tips for clean JSON output
Keep a single header row; avoid merged cells when exporting from spreadsheets
Use consistent date formats (ISO 8601 recommended)
Represent booleans as true/false, and empty values as blank (→ null)
Validate before exporting; fix column length mismatches promptly

FAQs
What is a CSV to JSON converter?
A CSV to JSON converter turns comma-separated values into structured JSON arrays or objects, preserving columns as keys and rows as records.
Will the tool detect delimiters and encoding automatically?
Yes. It auto-detects common delimiters (, ; \t |) and tries UTF-8 by default, with detection and manual override if needed.
How are numbers, booleans, dates, and empty cells handled?
Type inference converts numeric strings to numbers, true/false to booleans, ISO-like dates to strings, and empty cells to null—unless you customize behavior.
Can I transform data before conversion?
Absolutely—apply casing, find/replace, prefixes/suffixes, math operations, and date formatting. You can stack multiple rules and re-order them.
How do filters and aggregations work?
Use row filters (equals, contains, regex, etc.) to narrow data. Aggregate by one or more columns to compute sum/avg/min/max/count/count distinct.
What validation checks are included?
Column length mismatches, invalid types, empty rows, duplicate rows, encoding anomalies, and quality metrics with suggestions to fix issues.
Which export formats are supported?
Pretty or minified JSON, JSON Schema, YAML, XML, HTML table, and SQL INSERT statements (with custom table names).
Is there a file size limit?
The tool is optimized for large files, but practical limits depend on your device/browser memory. For very large datasets, use chunking/splitting.
Do you store my data?
The tool is designed for secure processing. See the Privacy Policy for how files are handled and any retention practices.
Can I use the output with my API or database?
Yes—JSON output works with most web APIs and NoSQL stores. Use SQL export if you need relational INSERT statements.
