How it works

  1. Provide JSON. Paste a JSON array of objects (or a single object), or upload a .json file.
  2. Convert. Press Convert — columns are built from the keys across all objects.
  3. Get CSV. Copy the CSV, or download it ready to open in a spreadsheet.

About this tool

JSON to CSV flattens a JSON array of objects into a spreadsheet-ready CSV. Paste the JSON or upload a .json file, and the tool builds the column headers from the union of every object's keys, so rows with different fields still line up. Nested objects and arrays are written as compact JSON inside their cell rather than being dropped. The result opens straight in Excel, Sheets or Numbers. Everything is parsed in the request and nothing is stored.

What people use it for

  • Open an API’s JSON response in a spreadsheet
  • Turn exported JSON into a CSV for Excel or Sheets
  • Share structured data with non-technical colleagues
  • Bulk-review JSON records as rows and columns

Frequently asked questions

A JSON array of objects, like [{"a":1},{"a":2}], where each object becomes a row. A single object is also accepted and becomes one row.

The columns are the union of every key found across all the objects, in first-seen order, so records that have different fields still align under the right headers.

A nested object or array is written as compact JSON text inside its cell rather than being dropped, so no data is silently lost in the conversion.

Yes. It is standard comma-separated output with a header row, which Excel, Google Sheets and Numbers all open directly.

Yes. Upload a file up to 100 MB or paste the JSON text — both produce the same CSV.

No. It is parsed in the request with the standard library and discarded right away; nothing is stored, logged or forwarded.

Yes. POST a JSON body to /api/tools/json-to-csv/ and you get a JSON response back — the same engine the web tool uses, so results are identical. It is rate-limited per IP like the web version and needs no signup; API keys for higher limits are coming. See the API section above for ready-to-run curl, Python and JavaScript examples.

Yes — JSON to CSV is completely free, with no watermark on the output and no credit card required.

Yes. It runs in your browser, so JSON to CSV works on phones and tablets as well as desktop — there is no app to install.

No. JSON to CSV works with no signup at all; an optional free account only exists to unlock higher usage limits.
