Trust & transparency

Clear boundaries help you use data tools with confidence. Here’s what happens (and what doesn’t) when you use CSV Checker.

In-browser processing

Your CSV is processed in your browser. We don’t upload your file to our server.

No file retention

We don’t store your CSV contents on our server. You control downloads and exports.

What we check

Encoding, delimiter, column mismatch, empty lines, duplicate IDs, and invisible characters—so imports fail less.

Limits & policies

Row limits and usage details are documented in Terms and Privacy.

Supported formats & what we recommend

  • Files: Plain-text CSV-style data (comma, tab, or semicolon delimiters—auto-detected where possible).
  • Encodings: UTF-8, UTF-8 with BOM, and common regional encodings (e.g. Shift_JIS, EUC-KR/CP949) are detected in your browser.
  • For Microsoft Excel: Saving as UTF-8 with BOM avoids garbled columns when reopening; use Encoding recovery if the file is already wrong.
  • Limits: Huge files depend on your device’s memory; plan row limits are in Terms.
