    Why use this tool

    What you get here that a server-side alternative cannot offer.

    • Your data never leaves the tab

      There is no upload step and no server to receive one. The page loads once, then all work on your CSV data happens in local JavaScript.

    • No upload or queue wait

      Processing starts the moment you press the button. You are not waiting on a network round-trip or a shared job queue, so results are effectively instant.

    • No caps or paywalls

      No daily limits, no per-file ceilings imposed by a server tier, no watermarks, and no account. The practical limit is your own device's memory.

    • Keeps working offline

      Once the page has loaded you can go offline and it still works, because the code that does the job is already on your machine.

    • Safe for secrets and production data

      API responses, tokens, and customer records can be inspected without pasting them into someone else's server log — the usual reason these tools are banned internally.

    How it works

    1. Step 1: Paste your CSV

      Paste directly into the editor, drop a file onto it, or use "Open file" to pick one from your device. Nothing is sent anywhere when you do.

    2. Step 2: Convert or validate

      Adjust the options if you need to, then run it. Results appear beside your input so you can compare the two.

    3. Step 3: Copy or download the result

      Copy the result to your clipboard in one click, or save it as a file. You can also keep editing and re-run as many times as you like.

    Frequently asked questions

    No. Everything runs locally in your browser using JavaScript — your data is never uploaded to a server, and nothing is stored or logged.

    Comma, semicolon, tab, and pipe. Semicolons matter for CSV exported by European spreadsheet locales, where the comma is the decimal separator.

    Quoted fields containing commas, newlines, or escaped quotes are parsed per RFC 4180, so values are not split in the wrong place.

    There is no server-side cap. Very large inputs are limited only by your device's memory and will make the page feel slower, since the work happens on the main thread. In practice a few megabytes of text is comfortable.

    Yes, once the page has loaded. The code that does the work is already in your browser at that point, so you can disconnect and keep using it. Reloading the page while offline needs the browser cache to still hold it.

    No. There is no sign-up, no email, and no usage tracking tied to an identity. The tool works the first time you open it.
