Nobody likes CSV files.

They’re boring, fragile, and always show up at the worst moment. Exports from tools. Reports from clients. Data dumps from systems you don’t control. And somehow you’re always the one who has to “just fix it real quick”.

That’s exactly why I Love CSV exists.

CSVs are annoying. We make them behave.
I Love CSV is a simple website that does one thing really well: it takes annoying CSV tasks and makes them painless.

Merge files. Clean columns. Pivot and unpivot. Remove duplicates. Convert formats. Do quick analysis. All in a few clicks.

No Excel gymnastics. No scripts. No setup.

You drop a file in, get the job done, move on with your life.

Even if you hate CSVs, you’ll love what we do with them.

Built for real-world chaos
Most tools try to turn CSVs into a full spreadsheet or a data science project. That’s not how people actually work.

Most of the time you just need to:

Fix a broken export
Join two files
Reformat something for another tool
Clean data someone else messed up

I Love CSV is built around those moments. Small tools. Clear purpose. No distractions.

It feels less like software and more like a set of sharp utilities you keep around because they save you when things go sideways.

Privacy first. Not as a slogan. As a rule.
This part matters.

Everything runs client-side.

Your files stay in your browser. They are not uploaded to a server. They are not stored. They are not analyzed somewhere you cannot see.

That means you can use I Love CSV with internal data, customer lists, or sensitive files without sweating it.

Privacy is not an afterthought here. It is the foundation.

The point

I Love CSV doesn’t try to impress you with complexity. It respects your time. It assumes you have better things to do than fight with commas and quotes.

Even if you hate CSVs, you’ll love what we do with them.

And once you use it once, you’ll probably keep it bookmarked.
