How it works

  1. Add your CSV. Paste CSV text into the box, or load a .csv file from your device.
  2. Read the table. It renders instantly as a clean table, with row and column counts.
  3. Tune it. Use Advanced options to change delimiter or toggle the header row. Nothing is uploaded.

About this tool

Turn raw CSV into a clean, readable table without uploading your data anywhere. Paste the text or load a .csv file and it renders instantly, with a proper RFC-4180 parser that understands quoted fields, commas inside quotes and escaped double-quotes. Row and column counts are shown so you can sanity-check the shape. The Advanced options let you switch the delimiter to semicolon or tab and toggle whether the first row is a header. Because it all runs in your browser, even sensitive spreadsheets never leave your device.

What people use it for

  • Quickly inspect a CSV export without a spreadsheet app
  • Preview a file with commas inside quoted fields
  • View semicolon or tab-separated (TSV) data
  • Check the row and column shape of a dataset
