What this tool does
Converts between CSV and plain line-based text — handy for flattening a table into a list or folding a list back into a table.
How to use it
- Paste the data.
- Choose the direction.
- Run it and confirm the delimiters were handled as intended.
Worked example
Converting name,value and Ada,42 to text spreads the cells out line by line.
Frequently asked questions
- How are empty cells handled?
- They stay empty. Check the column count when converting back — stray blank lines can shift row boundaries.
- Korean text is garbled.
- The tool works in UTF-8. If Excel garbles it, use Excel’s import function and specify UTF-8.
