Cleanup & Conversion Toolkit

Table cleanup and column shaping

CSV / Excel Cleaner

Open a CSV, TSV or Excel file in the browser, remove blank rows, trim extra spaces, delete exact duplicate rows, keep only needed columns, and download the cleaned result without sending the file to a server.

In-browser processing

Supported formats

File setup and cleanup controls

Upload one table file, choose the sheet and cleanup options on the left, then review counts and previews on the right before downloading the result.

CSV / Excel file

Choose one CSV, TSV, XLSX or XLS file, or drag and drop it here.

Source settings

Turn the header option on when the first row contains column names instead of normal data.

Columns to keep

Pick only the columns you want to keep in the exported file.

Cleanup options

The selected file is read and cleaned inside the browser. The site does not include a mechanism that sends this tool input for AI training.

Export settings

When text output is selected, you can export as normal CSV or tab-separated TSV.

Output format

What you can do

  • Load one CSV, TSV, XLSX or XLS file directly in the browser
  • Choose a sheet for Excel files and preview the table before and after cleanup
  • Remove blank rows, trim surrounding spaces, delete exact duplicate rows and drop empty columns
  • Keep only selected columns and export the cleaned result as CSV, TSV-style text or XLSX

Who this is for

  • People tidying exported customer lists, order data or survey results
  • Teams removing blank rows and repeated records before sharing a spreadsheet
  • Anyone who wants a quick local cleanup tool instead of opening a full spreadsheet workflow

Things to watch

  • The exported file keeps the cleaned values, but it does not preserve original Excel styling, formulas, merged cells or hidden-sheet settings.
  • Very large spreadsheets may take longer to parse and preview in the browser.
  • The header-row setting changes how the first row is treated, so confirm it before downloading.

FAQ

Does this upload my spreadsheet anywhere?

No. The tool is designed to parse, clean and export the file locally in the browser.

Can old XLS files be opened?

Yes, basic XLS support is included. Some older files with uncommon encodings or unusual structures may still fail to load.

Will the original Excel formatting stay the same?

No. The export focuses on cleaned table values. Formatting, formulas, merged cells and workbook-level layout are not preserved.
