What Censor CSV Data can do:

Censor CSV Data is built to clean up spreadsheet exports by masking sensitive details like emails, phone numbers, or names. Whether you’re preparing a file for sharing, anonymizing logs, or just stripping out private info for safety, this tool’s got you. You get full control over what gets hidden using toggles and everything happens right in your browser. There’s no uploading, no server lag, and no risk of leaking anything. Flip on or off each data type you want to censor, and watch the output adjust in real time. You can even copy or export the cleaned file immediately.

Example:

Before:

Name,Email,Phone
Alice,[email protected],123-456-7890
Bob,[email protected],987-654-3210
Charlie,[email protected],555-123-4567

After (Censor All toggled):

[censored name],[censored email],[censored phone]
[censored name],[censored email],[censored phone]

Common Use Cases:

Censor CSV Data is useful when you’re sanitizing contact lists before sharing, prepping customer exports for demos, or anonymizing logs for public use. It’s private, offline, and flexible enough for a range of redaction tasks without needing Excel or scripts.

Useful Tools & Suggestions:

Before censoring, Find Data in CSV can help you quickly locate names, emails, or keywords you want to hide. And once redacted, Anonymize CSV Data is a good follow-up to obscure anything that’s still identifiable.
