Export Google Takeout Data to CSV

Google Takeout lets you download a copy of data from Google products. Many Takeout archives include JSON files, which are useful for portability but not always easy to inspect. Data.Page can convert those JSON files into CSV for Excel, Google Sheets, or database imports.

Step 1: Download your Google Takeout archive

1. Go to Google Takeout and sign in.
2. Select the Google products you want to export.
3. Choose export options such as archive type, delivery method, and file size.
4. Create the export and wait for Google to prepare the archive.
5. Download the ZIP file and keep a copy of the original archive.

Step 2: Convert JSON files to CSV

1. Extract the archive if you want to choose specific JSON files.
2. Open JSON to CSV.
3. Upload a JSON file from the Takeout archive.
4. Review the generated columns and download the CSV.
5. Open the CSV in Excel or Google Sheets.

Which Takeout files are good candidates?

• Contacts or profile-like records
• Calendar and activity data
• Structured lists, saved items, and settings exports
• Any JSON file where spreadsheet filtering would help you review the data

Things to check

• Some Takeout folders contain media files and sidecar JSON metadata, not one simple table.
• Large archives are easier to work with one JSON file at a time.
• Private account data should be handled carefully. Use the Desktop App if local processing is preferred.
• Nested JSON may need flattening or separate CSV files.

Need a Google Sheets workflow?

If you want the converted data in Google Sheets, see JSON to Google Sheets. For recurring exports or custom layouts, contact us with the Takeout product, file size, and target format.
