Data converter
Turn JSON files into CSV without installing anything. The target format on this page is already set to CSV, so a single file or a whole folder is one press of Convert away.
JSON CSV
Files travel over TLS and are deleted from the server as soon as the conversion finishes.
JSON is nested; CSV is flat. Converting means picking the array of records to treat as rows and flattening any nested objects into dotted column names, which works cleanly for API responses that are already a list of similar objects.
Deeply nested or ragged data does not flatten well — you get sparse columns and lost structure. If the data is genuinely hierarchical, Parquet or NDJSON will serve you far better than a spreadsheet-shaped table.
