FAQ

Why does my CSV open in one column in Excel?

Your regional Excel settings expect a different delimiter. European Excel uses semicolons by default. Use this tool to convert to the delimiter your Excel expects.

Does it handle quoted fields correctly?

Yes. Fields containing the delimiter, quotes, or newlines are properly quoted in the output.
