Spreadsheet tools like Excel and Google Sheets don't understand JSON directly, so converting API data or export files into CSV is a common step before analysis. This JSON to CSV converter takes an array of JSON objects, or nested structures, and flattens them into properly delimited rows and columns with auto-generated headers. It's built for analysts, data engineers, and anyone pulling data from an API who needs it in spreadsheet form fast. Nested fields are flattened using dot-notation keys so no data is silently dropped. The whole conversion happens locally in your browser, meaning your JSON never gets uploaded anywhere, and there's no account required. Paste your JSON below to get downloadable CSV output in seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How does JSON to CSV conversion handle nested objects?
Nested fields are flattened into column headers using dot notation, such as address.city, so no nested data is lost in the CSV output.
Can I convert a single JSON object, not just an array?
Yes, a single object is converted into a one-row CSV with each key becoming a column header.
What happens to arrays inside JSON objects?
Array values are typically joined into a delimited string or expanded into indexed columns depending on your conversion settings.
Is the converted CSV compatible with Excel?
Yes, the output follows standard CSV formatting with proper quoting and delimiters that Excel and Google Sheets open correctly.
Does this tool upload my JSON data anywhere?
No, conversion happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript, so your data is never transmitted to a server.
Can I choose a different delimiter than a comma?
Yes, you can switch to semicolon or tab-delimited output for regional spreadsheet compatibility.
Is there a limit on how many JSON records I can convert?
No hard limit is enforced - performance depends on your browser, but typical datasets with thousands of rows convert instantly.
