How to use the Text Columns to TSV

  1. Enter or paste your input in the box (or set the options, if the tool needs no input).
  2. Adjust the options to match what you need — the result updates as you type.
  3. Copy the result or download it, and keep editing if you want a different outcome.

What does this tool do?

Paste tables copied from a terminal, a PDF or an email, where columns are lined up with runs of spaces. Wherever two or more spaces appear (you can change the minimum), a tab is inserted, so the result pastes straight into Excel or Google Sheets.

Everything runs in your browser, so nothing you enter is uploaded or stored.

Why use it?

  • Free, with no sign-up and no limits.
  • Instant results as you type.
  • Private — your data stays on your device.

Example

Input: Name   Age
Amy    25
Result: Name⇥Age
Amy⇥25
