How to Convert JSON to CSV (Step by Step)
Learn how to convert JSON to CSV so you can open API data in Excel or Google Sheets — free and private.
Learning how to convert JSON to CSV lets you take data from an API or app and open it neatly in a spreadsheet. JSON is great for programs, but CSV is what Excel and Google Sheets understand — so converting bridges the two worlds.
JSON vs. CSV
JSON stores data as nested objects and arrays, ideal for code. CSV stores it as simple rows and columns separated by commas, ideal for spreadsheets. Converting flattens your JSON objects into tidy rows.
How the conversion works
| JSON | CSV |
|---|---|
| Object keys | Column headers |
| Each object | One row |
Steps to convert
- Paste a JSON array of objects.
- Click Convert.
- Copy the CSV or open it in your spreadsheet app.
The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so sensitive data never leaves your device.
Convert yours now
Our JSON to CSV converter turns an array of objects into clean spreadsheet rows in one click, and if you need the reverse the CSV to JSON converter does that too. For the formal CSV format definition, see RFC 4180. Paste, convert, and your data is ready for Excel or Sheets.
