A live preview table shows your data parsed into rows and columns, so you can verify the conversion before copying.

Frequently asked questions
What delimiters are supported?
Comma, tab, pipe (|), semicolon, colon, caret (^), and custom delimiter. You can type any character as a custom delimiter.
Does it handle quoted fields?
Yes. Fields wrapped in double quotes are handled correctly. Commas or other delimiters inside quoted fields will not cause false splits.
Can I preview my data as a table?
Yes. A live preview table shows the parsed rows and columns so you can verify the data structure before copying.
Using the results
