What Convert qCSV to CSV can do:

Convert qCSV to CSV instantly without tools or downloads. qCSV is often used by legacy systems that wrap all fields in quotes and separate columns with pipes instead of commas. This tool strips those quotes, swaps the pipes for commas, and gives you clean, ready-to-use CSV you can export or copy. It’s simple, browser-based, and totally offline.

Example:

Before:

"name"|"email"
"John Doe"|"[email protected]"
"Jane Smith"|"[email protected]"

After:

name,email
John Doe,[email protected]
Jane Smith,[email protected]

Common Use Cases:

If you’re pulling data from ERP exports, government datasets, or old proprietary software, you might end up with qCSV. This tool fixes that instantly. It’s great for cleaning data for spreadsheets, import into tools like Airtable or Google Sheets, or just making the text human-readable.
