Clean a messy CSV
A CSV exported from another system often arrives with semicolons instead of commas, empty rows, extra columns or unclosed quotes, and Excel opens it all in a single column. FormatIA detects the separator, tidies the rows and gives you a clean table you can edit before downloading.

Frequently asked questions
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. Normal cleaning happens in your browser and the file never leaves your device.
Why do accents look wrong in Excel?
Excel needs a special marker (BOM) to read UTF-8. The CSV you download here includes it, so accents and non-Latin scripts display correctly.
What if the file is too broken?
If no clear structure is detected, use AI with the “Messy CSV” type and it will try to rebuild the columns.
