Frequently Asked Questions

Q

How are CSV headers handled?

For CSV to JSON, the first row is treated as property names; each following row becomes an object with those keys. For JSON to CSV, object keys become the header row.

Q

What if my CSV uses semicolons instead of commas?

Use the delimiter option to select semicolon (or tab). The converter will split rows using your chosen delimiter.

Q

Can I convert nested JSON to CSV?

The tool works best with flat JSON (array of objects with simple values). Nested objects or arrays are typically stringified; for complex nesting you may need to flatten first.

Q

Is my data sent to a server?

No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your CSV and JSON never leave your device.
