The Universal Language of Data
CSV (Comma-Separated Values) is the backbone of global data exchange. Unlike proprietary .xlsx files, CSV is pure text: lightweight, human-readable, and compatible with every database, programming language, and CRM on the planet.
"Whether you use Python, SQL, or Excel, CSV is the bridge that connects different tech stacks."
At I Hate CSV, we simplify the complexity of tabular data. No need to write complex Python scripts or VBA macros—do it all in your browser.

Masterclass: Cleaning Data like a Data Scientist
"Garbage In, Garbage Out." This is the golden rule of data. Cleaning isn't just about removing duplicates; it’s a three-phase scientific process:
- 1. Structural Validation:
Ensuring every row maintains a consistent number of delimiters and fixed encoding (UTF-8).
- 2. Normalization:
Standardizing Date formats (ISO 8601), Currency symbols, and Text casing (Trim/Proper case).
- 3. Strategic Imputation:
Intelligently filling missing data points using Means, Medians, or custom placeholders to avoid bias.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a limit on file size?
We support files up to 100MB for local browser processing. Since we don't use servers, the limit depends on your device's RAM. For massive datasets, use our "Splitter" tool first.
Can I merge CSVs with different headers?
Yes! Our Intelligent Merge tool automatically detects similar column names (e.g., 'Email' vs 'E-mail') and lets you manually map the rest.
Are my Excel passwords safe?
We never see your passwords. Since the decryption happens in your browser's local sandbox, your credentials remain 100% private.
Do you support Mac and Windows formats?
Absolutely. We handle various encodings including UTF-8, UTF-16, and Windows-1252 to ensure no characters get corrupted.
