Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is a CSV file?
A CSV file stores tabular data in plain text format where values are separated by a delimiter such as a comma, semicolon, or tab. It is widely supported by spreadsheet programs like Excel and Google Sheets.
Q2: How does the tool detect delimiters?
It analyzes the first few lines of your data, counts occurrences of common delimiters (comma, semicolon, tab, pipe), and chooses the one with the highest frequency.
Q3: Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. The entire process happens in your browser using JavaScript, so your data is never sent anywhere.
