Paste multiline text and convert to various array formats
About Text to Array Converter
The Text to Array Converter is a utility tool that helps developers convert multiline text into various array and object formats for different programming languages. This tool is especially useful for quickly transforming lists, comma-separated values, or any line-based data into structured arrays for your code.
All conversion happens directly in your browser – your text is never sent to a server, ensuring privacy and security when working with sensitive data.
How to Use This Tool
- Enter Your Text: Type or paste your multiline text into the input area. Each line will become an element in the resulting array.
- Configure Processing Options: Choose whether to trim whitespace from each line and whether to remove empty lines from the input.
- Select Output Format: Choose the programming language and format you want to convert to (JSON, JavaScript, PHP, or WordPress).
- Choose Array Structure: Pick how you want your data structured:
- Simple: Just the values in a basic array
- Numeric: Arrays containing both ID and text value
- Associative: Key-value pairs with slugified keys or numeric keys
- Enable Slugified Keys: For associative arrays, you can enable this feature to automatically generate clean, URL-friendly keys from the line text.
- Convert: Click the “Convert” button to generate your output.
- Copy Result: Use the copy button to copy the result to your clipboard.
Example Usage
Input Example:

}
];PHP Array (Numeric):
<?php $data = array( 1 => 'United States', 2 => 'Canada', 3 => 'United Kingdom', 4 => 'Australia' );
