Why naive find-and-replace breaks CSV

CSV values that contain commas are wrapped in double quotes, like "New York, NY". A simple comma-to-tab replacement splits those values apart and shifts your columns. This tool parses quotes per RFC 4180 — commas, line breaks and escaped quotes ("") inside a quoted field stay part of the value, and TSV output quotes fields that contain tabs.

FAQ

Which is better for pasting into Excel?

TSV. Tab-separated text pasted into Excel splits into columns automatically, while raw CSV often lands in a single column.

Is my data sent anywhere?

No. Conversion happens entirely inside your browser.
