Frequently asked questions
Is CSV Formatter free to use?
Yes. CSV Formatter is completely free with no account, no trial and no usage cap. Every feature on this page is available on the first visit.
Does CSV Formatter upload your text to a server?
No. CSV Formatter processes your text inside your browser, so it never reaches a DocTools server. That also means the tool keeps working if your connection drops mid-task.
Is there a file size limit?
The practical ceiling is your device's available memory rather than a server quota. Files up to roughly 100 MB work comfortably on a typical laptop in CSV Formatter.
Do I need to install anything to use CSV Formatter?
No installation is needed. CSV Formatter runs in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, on desktop and on mobile, with no extension or plugin.
Can I use CSV Formatter on a phone or tablet?
Yes. The CSV Formatter interface adapts to small screens and supports touch input, though very large jobs are faster on a desktop browser.
What happens to your text when I close the tab?
It is discarded. CSV Formatter keeps everything in temporary browser memory, so closing the tab removes every trace of the session.
