Convert CSV toany delimiter

Drop a CSV, pick an output delimiter, get a re-delimited file with proper quoting. Switch commas for tabs, pipes, semicolons, or a custom separator — fields are quoted only when they need it.

01 · How it works

Three steps, then done.

Re-delimiting happens entirely in your browser. Your data never touches a server.

01

Drop your CSV

Paste text or drop a file. We parse the header and rows, sniff types, and show a preview — all locally, with nothing uploaded.

02

Pick a delimiter

Choose tab, pipe, or semicolon, or type your own separator. The header line and every row are re-emitted with that delimiter.

03

Copy or download

Grab the re-delimited output as text or save it to a file. Fields that contain the delimiter, a quote, or a newline are quoted and escaped automatically.

02 · Why ours

Why convert to a differentdelimiter

Not every tool speaks comma. Re-delimiting makes your data fit the system that has to read it next.

  • 01

    Tabs for clean pastes

    Tab-separated values paste straight into spreadsheets and many editors without comma-splitting surprises, and survive fields that contain commas.

  • 02

    Pipes and semicolons for legacy systems

    Plenty of ETL jobs, exports, and European locales expect pipe- or semicolon-delimited files. Switch separators without touching the data.

  • 03

    Correct quoting, always

    A field is quoted only when it contains the delimiter, a double-quote, or a newline — and inner quotes are doubled — so the output round-trips cleanly.

  • 04

    Private by design

    Everything runs client-side in your browser. No file leaves your machine, so even sensitive exports stay yours.

03 · FAQ

to delimited questions.

What delimiters can I use?
Tab, pipe (|), and semicolon (;) are built in, and you can type any custom separator string. The default output is tab-separated (TSV).
A field is wrapped in double-quotes only if it contains the chosen delimiter, a double-quote, a carriage return, or a line feed. Any double-quotes inside the field are doubled. Everything else is emitted as-is.
TSV is just this tool with the delimiter set to tab. Here you control the separator, so the same converter produces tab, pipe, semicolon, or custom-delimited output from one input.
Yes. The first line is your column names, joined with the chosen delimiter and quoted by the same rules as the data rows.
No. Parsing and re-delimiting run entirely in your browser with JavaScript. Nothing is sent to a server, logged, or stored.
