Change a CSV file's separator

Switch a CSV between commas, semicolons, tabs and pipes. Handy when Excel in Europe expects semicolons, or a system wants pipe-separated files. Quotes are handled properly, so commas inside values never break columns.

How it works

Add your file; its current separator is detected for you. Pick the new Separator (semicolon is already selected) and click Convert & download.

If the file was read with the wrong separator, open File looks wrong? under the file name and choose it yourself.

Questions

What happens to commas inside values?

Values that contain the separator, quotes or line breaks are wrapped in quotes, the standard CSV way, so every column stays intact.
