How to: Data Converter
- Select CSV, JSON or Excel files.
- Pick the output format.
- Download.
Data moves between spreadsheets, databases, APIs and scripts in different formats. One converter handles them all locally, so customer lists and financial data stay private.
Common uses
- Prepare spreadsheet data for an API or app.
- Open JSON exports in Excel.
- Convert ODS files from LibreOffice.
Tips for best results
- UTF-8 is used throughout, so accents and non-Latin scripts are kept.
Choosing the right format
CSV is the simplest and most widely accepted for imports. TSV avoids problems when data contains commas. JSON suits APIs and apps, especially with nested data. XLSX and ODS keep multiple sheets and proper data types for people working in spreadsheets.
Encoding and special characters
All conversions use UTF-8, so names like José, Müller or 東京 survive the round trip. When exporting CSV for Excel, a byte order mark is added so characters display correctly.
