Frequently Asked Questions

TSV (Tab-Separated Values) uses tabs instead of commas to separate fields. It's useful when your data contains commas.

No. All processing happens locally in your browser. Your files never leave your device.

Fields containing commas, quotes, or newlines are properly parsed. The converter respects CSV quoting rules.

Yes, use our TSV to CSV converter to convert tab-separated files back to comma-separated format.

Use TSV when your data contains many commas (like addresses or descriptions). Tabs are less common in text, reducing escaping needs.

If a field contains actual tab characters, they're quoted in the TSV output to distinguish them from field delimiters.

Yes. Excel recognizes .tsv files and opens them correctly. You can also import via Data > From Text/CSV and specify tab delimiter.

Newlines within quoted CSV fields are preserved. In TSV output, these fields remain quoted to maintain the newline characters.

Yes. Most databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite) support TSV import. Use LOAD DATA or COPY commands with tab delimiter.

The converter processes all Unicode correctly. Ensure your text editor or destination software uses UTF-8 encoding to display special characters properly.
