Turn CSV into the delimited format you need
Not every system reads comma CSV. Databases, ETL tools and older software often expect tab-delimited, pipe-delimited or fixed-width text instead. This converter rewrites your CSV into whichever delimited format the destination requires.
Paste or upload the CSV, choose the output separator (or type a custom one), and the tool re-serializes the data with correct quoting. The live preview confirms the columns line up before you export, and everything runs locally so your data stays private.
For a specific target, jump straight to comma, tab, pipe or fixed-width output.

Input and output example
The same CSV exported with a semicolon delimiter; switch to tab, pipe or fixed width anytime.
id,name,city
1,Ada,NY
2,Lin,LAid;name;city
1;Ada;NY
2;Lin;LAWhich delimiter should you use?
Each separator suits different tools — here is a quick guide.
Comma and semicolon
Comma is the universal default. Punto y coma is common in regions where the comma is a decimal mark, and many European Excel installations import semicolon files more cleanly. Choose semicolon if commas appear inside your values and you want to avoid quoting.
Tab (TSV) and pipe
Tab-separated text is the safest when fields contain punctuation, because tabs rarely appear inside data. Barra vertical (|) is a long-time favorite for database loads and system-to-system feeds for the same reason.
Quoting rules
With Cuando sea necesario quoting, a field is wrapped in quotes only if it contains the delimiter, a quote or a line break. Use Todo entre comillas for strict importers, or Sin comillas when you have guaranteed the delimiter never appears in your data.
Fixed-width output
Choose Ancho fijo and each column is padded to its widest value, producing aligned text for mainframe and report formats. Pair it with a monospaced viewer to check alignment.
Line endings and encoding
Switch between LF (Unix) and CRLF (Windows) endings to match the receiving system, and enable UTF-8 BOM when the file will be opened in Excel.
Tips and edge cases
- Not sure what the other system wants? Tab or pipe are the safest general-purpose choices.
- Keep Todo entre comillas on for strict parsers; it never hurts correctness, only file size.
- For the reverse job — delimited text into CSV — use delimited text to CSV.
CSV to Delimited Text Converter — FAQ
Which delimiter is best for Excel?
Comma CSV works everywhere; semicolon can import more cleanly in comma-decimal locales. Enable UTF-8 BOM for correct encoding.
Which is best for databases or legacy systems?
Tab or pipe, because those characters rarely appear inside values, avoiding the need for quoting.
Can I use a custom delimiter?
Yes. Choose Custom delimiter and type any character, such as ;, ~ or a caret.
How do I keep quotes and commas inside fields?
Leave quoting on Cuando sea necesario or Todo entre comillas; values containing the delimiter or quotes are protected automatically.
