About TSV files

A .TSV (Tab-Separated Values) file is a plain text format where tabular data is separated by tab characters. It is primarily used to transfer large datasets between incompatible database systems, spreadsheet applications like Microsoft Excel, or e-commerce platforms like Google Merchant Center. Less frequently, the .TSV extension denotes a Transport Stream Video recording generated by ALi Corporation PVRs, TechnoTrend DVB software, or cached video streams from UC Browser for Android.

While .TSV files are lightweight and avoid the delimiter-collision issues common with comma-separated formats, they are heavily restricted. As raw text files, they do not support cell formatting, mathematical formulas, multiple sheets, or charts. Attempting to open massive 500MB database exports in standard text editors often results in frozen applications or crashed systems. Furthermore, if you are dealing with the video variant, default media players on Windows or Mac will often fail to recognize the format or lack the proper MPEG codecs required for playback.

To safely edit tabular data with full formatting and mathematical features, convert to XLSX or ODS. For broader web compatibility, application APIs, or structured database imports, convert to CSV or JSON. If you have an unplayable TSV video file, convert it to MP4 or MKV for seamless playback on modern mobile devices and smart TVs. Drag and drop your file here to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing software.

The TSV Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database.

Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our TSV converter.
