Text to CSV
Turn lines of text into a proper CSV file with quoting and CRLF line endings, choosing your delimiter and an optional header row. RFC 4180 line endings included.
How to use
- Paste your data, one record per line.
- Choose the delimiter and whether the first line is a header.
- Copy the CSV.
Text to CSV converts a simple list into spreadsheet-ready data. Every field is quoted and every record ends with a CRLF, which is what RFC 4180 requires and what Excel expects.
Output
Paste or type something above.
Questions about text to csv
- Why are all fields quoted?
- Quoting every field is valid CSV and removes any doubt about a comma inside a value.
- Which delimiter should I pick?
- Comma for most locales. Semicolon is common where the decimal separator is a comma, and tab pastes cleanly into Excel.
- Does it handle quotes inside values?
- Yes, a quote inside a value is doubled, which is the escape CSV defines.
