CSV Viewer: Open, Sort and Search Any CSV
Open a CSV export and read it as a table: sort any column, search all columns or one, page through 50,000 rows without Excel. Free, in your browser, nothing uploaded.
Your CSV File
The viewer needs JavaScript. Without it, open the file in a text editor.
A CSV Export, Readable in Seconds
The viewer finds the encoding and the separator itself, so umlauts, semicolon files and tab files all show as clean columns.
Nothing changes in your file. Sort and search only change what you see; Download Shown Rows saves the rows you found as a new CSV.

Each loads an export the way the system writes it.
- Example
A Semicolon Export With Umlauts
A German CRM export: semicolons, decimal commas and dates with dots. The viewer shows it in columns and sorts the numbers as numbers.
- ;separator found
- UTF-8encoding found
- 0files uploaded
- Sort
Scores, Highest First
Select the Score head twice: numbers sort as numbers.
- Search
Find One Domain
Search for example.org in the Email column only.
- Tabs
A Tab-Separated File
Exports from databases often use tabs. The viewer finds them.
- Quotes
Commas Inside Values
Quoted values with commas and line breaks stay in one cell.
Check an Export Before You Use It
Open the file here first when an export goes into Salesforce, Account Engagement (Pardot) or a spreadsheet: empty emails, odd countries and duplicate rows show up as soon as you sort the column.
Excel changes values when it opens a CSV. The viewer shows each value exactly as it is in the file.
- Sort the email column: empty cells sort last, so blanks show at the end
- Search one column for a domain or a country
- Download the rows you found as their own CSV

CSV Viewer FAQ
Short answers to what people ask about viewing CSV files.
How do I open a CSV file without Excel?
Open it in the viewer above. It shows the file as a table in your browser, with sorting and search, and changes nothing in the file.
How large can the file be?
Up to 50 MB. The file is read in parts, so the page stays usable while it loads. For larger files, split them first.
Why are my umlauts or accents broken in other viewers?
The file is UTF-8 and the program read it as Windows text, or the other way round. This viewer checks which encoding the file uses before it shows anything.
Can I edit the CSV here?
No, the viewer only reads. You can download the rows a search found as a new CSV.
Is my file uploaded?
No. The file is read in your browser and stays there. Nothing is sent or stored, and nothing from the file reaches analytics.
