Category Overview

What CSV & Tabular Data tools can do for you

6 tools listed

The CSV and table data tools focus on converting and checking data in rows and columns. Convert between CSV and JSON, TSV and CSV, detect and change delimiters, turn Excel files (xlsx and xls) into CSV, TSV or JSON, and translate between A1 and R1C1 references and column numbers and letters.

To put tables in documents or on the web, convert between spreadsheet data and Markdown or HTML tables and repair broken Markdown tables. You can also paste a table to make bar, line or pie charts.

For data quality, validate that every row has the same number of columns, extract and count duplicate rows, find near-duplicates despite spelling differences, compare old and new CSV or JSON files and infer column types to suggest a table schema. Large files are processed in your browser.

100% Client-side Processing

CSV & Tabular Data: frequently asked questions

Q. Can I convert an Excel file without uploading it?
A. Yes. The Excel converter runs in your browser, so your file is never uploaded.
Q. What if my CSV shows garbled characters?
A. That is usually a character encoding problem. The text repair tool and the encoding converter in Developer Utilities can help.
