Convert Trello boards to CSV

To convert Trello boards to CSV format, you can follow these steps:

Method 1: Export Directly from Trello (for Premium Users)

If you’re a Trello Premium user, Trello offers a built-in CSV export feature.

1. Open the Trello board you want to export.

2. Click on the “…” (Show Menu) on the right-hand side.

3. Click “More” > “Print and Export”.

4. Click “Export as CSV”.

5. The CSV file will be downloaded directly to your device.

Method 2: Manual Export Using JSON (for Free Users)

If you’re not a Premium user, you can still export board data via JSON and convert it to CSV:

Step 1: Export JSON

1. Open your Trello board.

2. In the address bar, append .json to the end of the board’s URL. For example:

   arduino
   CopyEdit
   https://trello.com/b/boardID.json
   

3. Press Enter — this will display the board data in JSON format.

4. Save the JSON file:

   • Right-click on the page.

   • Select Save As…

   • Save it as board.json.

Step 2: Convert JSON to CSV

Use a tool to convert JSON to CSV:

• Online converters:

  • https://json-csv.com

  • https://convertcsv.com/json-to-csv.htm

• Python script (optional for advanced users):

  python
  CopyEdit
  import json
  import csv
  
  with open('board.json') as f:
      data = json.load(f)
  
  cards = data['cards']
  
  with open('trello_cards.csv', 'w', newline='', encoding='utf-8') as csvfile:
      writer = csv.writer(csvfile)
      writer.writerow(['Card ID', 'Card Name', 'Description', 'List ID', 'Due Date'])
  
      for card in cards:
          writer.writerow([
              card['id'],
              card['name'],
              card.get('desc', ''),
              card['idList'],
              card.get('due', '')
          ])
  

Method 3: Use Trello Power-Ups or Third-Party Tools

Some third-party apps allow CSV export even for free users:

• Trello Export Excel & CSV (Chrome Extension)

• Planyway or Bridge24 (external Trello-compatible services)

Choose the method based on your Trello plan and technical comfort level.
