How to view and edit a CSV file
Open the file
Choose a CSV file or drop it in the box. The encoding and delimiter are detected; change them if the text looks garbled. Or start a new empty table.
Search and edit
Type in the search box to filter rows, sort any column with its sort button, and tap a cell twice to edit it. Add or delete rows and columns, and undo any step.
Save
Save it as a CSV with the delimiter you want, or as an Excel file.

FAQ
How do I open a CSV file without Excel?
Choose the file here and it opens as a tidy table in your browser, on a computer or a phone, with nothing to install.
Why does the text show as strange symbols?
The file was saved in a different encoding from the one used to read it. The encoding is detected automatically; if the text still looks wrong, pick another one from the Encoding list.
Does the export include only the filtered rows?
Every row by default. While you search, an option “Only the filtered rows” appears if you want to save just those.
How does sorting treat numbers?
Numbers sort by value (2 before 10), text alphabetically, and empty cells go last. You can undo a sort.
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. The file is opened, edited and saved inside your browser and never leaves your device.
