01

Commas never break columns

Only tab characters separate columns, so text that contains commas, like addresses and descriptions, stays in one cell.

02

Built for query exports

Save query results or report exports as TSV and get a tidy, printable record of the output, one row per line.

03

Several exports, one PDF

Convert a batch of TSV files at once, and merge them into a single PDF in the order you added them.

Questions

Frequently asked

What is a TSV file?

TSV (tab-separated values) is a plain-text table where columns are separated by tabs. It is like CSV, but commas inside your data never break the columns.

Are special characters and accents kept?

Yes. TSV files are read as UTF-8, so accented letters and symbols appear correctly in the PDF.

Can I use cells copied from a spreadsheet?

Yes. Copied spreadsheet cells are tab-separated text. Paste them into a plain-text editor, save the file with a .tsv ending, and convert it.

How long does it take to convert TSV to PDF?

Usually just a few seconds. Very large files can take a little longer.

Is TSV to PDF free?

Yes. It is free to use, with no sign-up and no watermarks added to your files.
