How to use

  1. Paste YAML (list of objects) into the input box.
  2. The TSV appears on the right.
  3. Copy or download the result.

Same as CSV but uses tabs as separators.

Example

  role: admin
- name: Bob
  role: user
Output
name	role
Alice	admin
Bob	user

When this works best

Same limits as CSV: only a list of flat maps looks clean, and nested values are stringified into a single tab-separated cell.

How it differs from related tools

The TSV to YAML converter reverses this; YAML to CSV uses comma separators instead.

Frequently asked questions

What is TSV?

Tab-separated values — like CSV but columns are split by tab characters.

Is it private?

Yes. Conversion runs entirely in your browser.

When should I use TSV over CSV?

Use TSV when your values contain commas, since tabs rarely appear in data and need no quoting.

What input shape works best?

A list of flat maps — nested values are stringified into a single tab-separated cell.
