FAQs
What is TSV and how is it different from CSV?
TSV (Tab-Separated Values) uses tabs to separate data fields, while CSV (Comma-Separated Values) uses commas. TSV is often preferred when data contains commas naturally, as tabs are less common in text content.
Can I use this tool offline?
Yes! This tool works entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Once the page loads, you can use it without an internet connection.
Is my data stored anywhere?
No, your data is never sent to any server. All processing happens locally in your browser, ensuring complete privacy and security.
What if my TSV has inconsistent columns?
The tool will detect inconsistent column counts and display an error message. Make sure all rows have the same number of tab-separated fields as the header row.
Can I use it for large datasets?
Yes, but very large datasets may slow down your browser. For optimal performance, we recommend files under 10MB. For larger datasets, consider splitting them into smaller chunks.
How accurate is the conversion process?
The conversion is 100% accurate for properly formatted TSV data. The tool uses the first row as headers and maps each subsequent row to create JSON objects with the corresponding key-value pairs.
