## Processing
Processing takes place in your browser. Inputs and files are not uploaded or retained.

## How to use
Paste or load CSV, inspect the detected structure, choose explicit repair options, preview rows, and export UTF-8 CSV or continue to Spreadsheet Studio or JSON.

## Example
Open a semicolon CSV with a quoted name such as "Smith, John", then export comma CSV with a UTF-8 BOM for Excel.

## Inputs
text/csv, text/tab-separated-values, text/plain

## Outputs
text/csv, application/json

## Capabilities
- delimiter detection
- quoted fields
- embedded newlines
- UTF-8 BOM
- line endings
- row consistency
- CSV repair

## Limitations
Automatic delimiter detection can be ambiguous for short files. Repairs preserve cell strings but cannot infer the intended meaning of malformed data.
