CSV Formatter
Parse CSV text into a readable table to inspect rows, columns and field values.
CSV Input
How to use
• Parse: split CSV into a table by the delimiter; quoted cells are handled.
• Delimiter: set manually or click Detect to auto-pick (comma / semicolon / tab / pipe).
• To JSON: switch to the JSON view — an array of objects when a header is present, otherwise a 2D array.
• JSON → CSV: paste a JSON array into the input and click the button to convert back to CSV.
• Memory: when on, your last input is saved to local storage.

Interpreting results and common questions
Does a correct CSV preview guarantee import success?
Importers can differ in delimiters, quoting, newlines, encoding and types. Test a small sample, especially fields containing delimiters or newlines.
