Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What delimiters can I convert between?
You can convert between comma (,), semicolon (;), tab, pipe (|), and space delimiters. This tool supports all common CSV delimiter formats used worldwide.
How do quote marks affect CSV files?
Quote marks protect fields that contain special characters like delimiters, newlines, or quotes themselves. You can choose double quotes, single quotes, or no quotes at all. Fields containing the delimiter will automatically be quoted for safety.
Can I convert Excel CSV to standard CSV?
Yes! Excel often exports CSVs with semicolons (especially in European locales). Use this tool to convert semicolon-delimited CSVs to comma-delimited format, which is more universally compatible. Check out our CSV to JSON Converter for further data processing.
Is my CSV data processed securely?
Absolutely! All CSV conversion happens locally in your browser. No data is uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy and security for your sensitive data.
What if my CSV has quoted fields with commas?
The parser handles quoted fields correctly. Fields enclosed in quotes can contain delimiters, and the tool will preserve them during conversion. Escaped quotes (double quotes within quotes) are also properly handled.
Can I use this for large CSV files?
Yes, but very large files (>10MB) may be slower due to browser processing limits. For optimal performance, consider splitting large files into smaller chunks. After conversion, you can use our CSV Viewer to preview the results.
