CSV to JSON Converter Pro
Convert CSV rows into a JSON array with file drop, header detection, and type inference.
What this tool does
Paste CSV text and convert each row into a JSON object using the header row as keys.
How to use
- Drop a .csv file or paste CSV text.
- Toggle first row is header if your file has no header row.
- Enable type inference for numbers and booleans, then copy or download JSON.
Formula
Each CSV row maps to one JSON object; header cells become property names.
Examples
Basic CSV
Input: id,name 1,Ada 2,Grace
Output: [{"id":"1","name":"Ada"},{"id":"2","name":"Grace"}]
Header values become JSON keys for each row.
Typed columns
Input: sku,qty,active A1,10,true
Output: [{"sku":"A1","qty":10,"active":true}]
With type inference enabled, numeric and boolean cells parse as JSON types.

CSV to JSON round trips
After editing CSV in Excel, convert back to JSON for APIs and config files. Enable type inference so numbers and booleans import correctly.
Excel and UTF-8
If Excel garbles characters on import, save CSV as UTF-8 or use JSON to CSV with Excel BOM on the export step.
Common use cases
- Convert spreadsheet exports for APIs
- Turn CSV fixtures into JSON test data
- Migrate tabular data into app configs
