Change CSV Delimiter

Convert delimited data between comma, tab, semicolon, and pipe separators — quoting fixed up automatically. Runs in your browser, no upload.

Result

Change CSV delimiter

Re-save delimited data with a different field separator. Pick what it's separated by now (from) and what you want (to) — comma, tab, semicolon, pipe, or any single character. Quoting is fixed up correctly: fields that contain the new separator get quoted, and fields that no longer need quotes lose them. Runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

Notes

FAQ

Can the separator be more than one character?

No — each separator must be a single character, or one of the named words comma, tab, semicolon, pipe. Something like || or :: is rejected with an error. The defaults are , for from and tab for to, so running with no options is a straight CSV → TSV conversion.

What happens when a field contains the new separator?

It gets wrapped in double quotes automatically, per RFC 4180 — so x;y stays one field after switching to semicolons. The reverse also happens: fields that were quoted only because they contained the old separator lose their now-unneeded quotes. Embedded quotes and newlines inside fields survive the conversion.

Is my data uploaded?

No — it's processed locally in your browser with WebAssembly.

Need to convert to/from JSON instead?
