CSV to TSV converter

Change the table delimiter from commas to tabs while preserving text-valued cells and column order.

How to use this tool

Enter CSV with a unique, nonempty header row and at least one data row. Quote fields that contain commas, quotes or line breaks.
Select Convert CSV to TSV. The output uses tabs between fields and CRLF record separators.

Scope and limits

Every row must have the header’s field count. Empty/duplicate headers, header-only input and malformed quoting are rejected. Cells are not converted into numbers, dates or booleans.

Maximum 100,000 input characters and 10,000 table fields/data values including rows. Spreadsheet formula interpretation remains a risk when opening untrusted output; import cells as text.

Inputs start empty. Load example fills them only when you choose it; Reset clears the editor and output.

For the other operations and format choices, open the Structured data workspace.

Worked input and output

Input

id,name
001,"Lin, Mei"

Output

id	name
001	Lin, Mei

The comma inside the name is ordinary text in TSV, so that field no longer needs quotes. The identifier stays the string 001 rather than becoming the number 1.
