CSV to Text Columns Converter

Turn rows of CSV data into individual text columns instantly. This tool lets you break apart comma-separated values by vertical column, making it easier to isolate, analyze, or rearrange list data by field. It’s especially helpful when working with name lists, email columns, tags, and any structured field content.

How to Use:

Paste your CSV data into the input box on the left. You can also upload a .csv or .txt file using the Choose File button. Then use the Options panel to customize output:

• Trim values: Removes whitespace from the start and end of each cell.

Each CSV field is sorted into its own vertical column. The converted output appears in the right-hand box and updates live as you type. Use Copy Output to copy the result, or Export to File to save it. Press Clear All to reset both sides and start again.

What the CSV to Text Columns Converter Tool does:

The tool reads each row of your CSV, splits each line by comma, and then reorganizes each column into a grouped block of lines. Each field becomes its own vertical list, making it easier to view or copy a single field’s values across all rows. This is particularly useful when you’re trying to extract or filter specific CSV columns.

Example:

Input CSV:

name,age,city
Alice,28,Paris
Bob,34,Berlin

Output (text columns):

name
Alice
Bob

age
28
34

city
Paris
Berlin

Common Use Cases:

Use this tool to extract field values from exported spreadsheets, isolate emails, names, or tags for bulk actions, or prepare data for filtering or processing. It’s especially useful for pulling out a single CSV column without writing code or formulas. Just paste, convert, and copy what you need.

Useful Tools & Suggestions:

If you’re working with tab-delimited data instead, TSV to Text Columns Converter gives you the same clean visual structure. And when you want to convert it back for export or processing, Text Columns to CSV Converter helps you rebuild the file quickly and cleanly.
