Genealogy applications often export family-tree data as GEDCOM, while spreadsheets and databases commonly accept CSV. Converting lets you sort or analyze people and events in a tabular tool, but it does not turn the data into an image.
What the GEDCOM format is
GEDCOM is a plain-text exchange format for genealogical records, including people, family relationships, events, dates, and source references. Family-tree programs such as Gramps and other genealogy software create or import GEDCOM files when users move research between applications or share a family tree.
What the CSV format is
CSV stores tabular data as rows and columns, with values separated by a chosen character, commonly a comma. Spreadsheet and database programs can open it for filtering, sorting, editing, and analysis. CSV works well for selected fields, such as names and birth dates, but does not inherently represent GEDCOM’s linked people, families, and events.
How to convert GEDCOM to CSV
Online on 101convert.com
- Upload the GEDCOM file on the converter page. You can add several files for batch conversion; the page shows the per-file size limit.
- Before converting, set the column separator and character encoding if needed.
- Convert the file and download the CSV output.
Offline with desktop software
Gramps is free genealogy software for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Install its CSV Export add-on if CSV is not available among the export formats; add-on availability and menu details can vary by Gramps version.
- In Gramps, use File → Import and select the GEDCOM file.
- Open File → Export, choose CSV, and select the records or fields offered by the exporter.
- Choose an output filename and save the export.
Data and compatibility limits
CSV is flat, so a single export may not preserve the full structure of families, relationships, events, and sources. If those links matter, export related record types separately and retain their identifiers where the exporter allows it. GEDCOM can reference external media, but CSV does not contain image files; paths or media references may be exported as text. Check the resulting encoding, separator, dates, and column headers before importing the CSV into another program.
