Nothing uploaded No file size cap Open source

How it works

Three steps. No upload, no signup.

  1. 1

    Drop your file

    Click the dropzone above or drag a JSON from your desktop. Files of any size, there's no upload, so there's no upload limit.

  2. 2

    Convert in your browser

    The conversion runs entirely in this tab using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your file never touches our servers, we don't have any.

  3. 3

    Download

    Get your CSV the moment the conversion finishes. Convert another, or close the tab.

Files stay on your device

Your file is never uploaded. The entire conversion runs in your browser using WebAssembly. We can't see what you convert because we have no server to see it.

No file size limit

Server converters cap free users at 1-2 GB and gate larger files behind a paid plan. Since nothing uploads, our limit is whatever your browser can handle.

Free, no signup, no ads on conversions

No account required. No watermark on the output. No queue. Open source, every line of conversion code is public.

About JSON and CSV

JSON, JavaScript Object Notation

JSON is a lightweight text format for structured data, nested objects, arrays, strings, numbers, booleans. It's the lingua franca of web APIs, configuration files, and data interchange between programs. Human-readable when formatted, machine-parseable in every programming language, and roughly half the size of equivalent XML.

How to open

Any text editor reads JSON. Browsers display .json files in a formatted tree view. VS Code and similar editors highlight syntax.

CSV, Comma-Separated Values

CSV is plain text, one row per line, fields separated by commas. The simplest possible tabular data format, which is exactly why it remains the most portable: every spreadsheet, database, programming language, and analytics tool reads CSV. Tradeoffs: no formulas, no formatting, no multiple sheets, and various edge cases around quoting fields that contain commas or newlines.

How to open

Excel, Google Sheets, Apple Numbers, LibreOffice Calc, any text editor, every database import wizard, every programming language with one line of code.

FAQ

Common questions

Is this JSON → CSV converter really free?

Yes. No signup, no watermark, no daily file count limit. The entire engine is open source, you can read the conversion code on GitHub.

Where does my file go when I convert it?

Nowhere. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your file is never uploaded to our servers. We don't have any servers handling files, there's nothing for us to log, store, or accidentally leak.

What's the maximum file size?

Whatever your browser can hold in memory. Practically, this means a few hundred MB on most computers, significantly larger than the 1-2 GB caps that server-upload converters charge for. Very large files (multi-GB) may require closing other browser tabs first.

Why convert JSON to CSV?

API responses, configuration files, structured data interchange. Universal tabular data interchange. The most common reason to convert is compatibility, CSV works in places where JSON doesn't, or vice versa.

How do I open a JSON file in the first place?

Any text editor reads JSON. Browsers display .json files in a formatted tree view. VS Code and similar editors highlight syntax.

Does this work offline?

Once the page is loaded, the conversion itself runs entirely offline. The first time you use a tool, your browser downloads the conversion library (a one-time cache). If you reload while offline, the page won't load, but you can install the site as a Progressive Web App for full offline use.

Can I convert multiple files at once?

Single file at a time for now. Batch conversion is on the roadmap, for now, drop one file, download the result, then convert the next.
