Paste a table, download a .csv file

Copying cells out of Google Sheets or Excel gives you tab-separated text. Paste it here and it is recognised as a table and saved with the right extension, so the next app opens it in columns instead of one long line.

Press ⌘V to paste

A screenshot, an image, text, JSON, a PDF, a whole file — anything on your clipboard becomes a download.

or drop a file anywhere on this page

Steps

  1. 01Select the cells and copy them.
  2. 02Press ⌘V here — tab-separated data saves as .tsv, comma-separated as .csv.
  3. 03Rename the file and Download.

Good to know

Detection checks every row

The separator is only accepted when every sampled line has the same number of fields, so a paragraph containing commas is not mistaken for a table.

Switching between CSV and TSV

Change the extension in the filename field. The contents are unchanged — only the type the next program assumes.

Questions

Will Excel open the downloaded file correctly?

Yes. Keep the .tsv extension for clipboard data copied from a spreadsheet, since that data is genuinely tab-separated.

Are my numbers reformatted?

No. The text is saved exactly as copied, so leading zeros and long IDs survive.
