Free Online TSV to Excel Converter
Convert one tab-separated TSV file or pasted TSV text into a single-sheet XLSX workbook in your browser. Fields are imported as text, providing a predictable table without pretending that plain TSV includes Excel formatting or formulas.
Steps
How it works
- Choose one TSV or text file, or paste tab-separated data.
- Review the rows parsed with tab delimiters.
- Create an XLSX workbook containing one Sheet1 worksheet.
- Download the generated Excel file.
Highlights
Key features
- Accepts uploaded .tsv or .txt files and pasted TSV data.
- Parses tab delimiters, quoted fields, escaped quotes, and quoted line breaks.
- Keeps parsed values as text, including date-like strings and leading-zero identifiers.
- Creates one real XLSX workbook for download.
- Shows a row preview before conversion.
Use cases
Common uses
- Open tab-separated exports in Excel.
- Turn TSV reports into a spreadsheet workbook.
- Keep identifier fields as text while creating XLSX rows.
- Convert pasted tabular data into a downloadable spreadsheet.
Notes
Limitations to know
- Only one TSV source is converted per run; batch, bulk, multiple-file, and ZIP conversion are unavailable.
- The parser expects tab delimiters and does not offer delimiter detection or customization.
- TSV contains no workbook styles, formulas, charts, or multiple sheets, so these cannot be restored.
- Values are written as text rather than automatically converted into dates or numbers.
- Malformed rows, unbalanced quotes, unusual encodings, or inconsistent column counts may produce unexpected output.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Will leading zeros be preserved?
Yes in the parser's output: fields are kept as strings when the worksheet is created.
Are dates automatically converted to Excel dates?
No. Date-like values remain text rather than being inferred as typed Excel dates.
Does the parser support quoted fields?
Yes. It handles double-quoted fields, escaped double quotes, and line breaks inside quoted values.
Can I recover formatting from a TSV file?
No. TSV is plain text and contains no original spreadsheet styles or formulas to restore.
Can I convert multiple TSV files?
No. One uploaded or pasted TSV source is processed per run.
