You have rows of text separated by spaces, tabs or another character, and you need valid CSV that a spreadsheet will import cleanly.
This tool splits each line by the separator you choose and writes proper CSV, quoting any value that contains a comma so the columns stay aligned.
How to use Convert Text to CSV
- Paste your text rows into the left panel.
- Choose the input separator: spaces and tabs, tab, comma, semicolon, pipe, or auto-detect.
- Copy the CSV from the right panel or download it as a CSV file.
What you can do with it
- Prepare pasted columns for a spreadsheet import.
- Turn space-separated log lines into CSV.
- Convert tab-separated text into a comma file.
Good to know
In CSV, any field that contains a comma, a quote or a line break must be wrapped in double quotes, otherwise the columns shift. This tool applies that quoting automatically as it builds each row.
Frequently asked questions
Which input separators are supported?
Spaces and tabs, a single tab, comma, semicolon, pipe, or automatic detection based on the first line.
When are values quoted?
A value is wrapped in double quotes whenever it contains a comma, a quote or a newline, so the CSV stays valid.
Does it add a header?
No. It converts your rows as-is; the first row becomes the first CSV line, which you can treat as a header.
