A .CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file is the industry-standard format for exchanging tabular data between disparate systems, such as exporting users from a database to import into Microsoft Excel.

Users frequently encounter data corruption when opening these files directly in spreadsheet software, where automatic type detection may strip leading zeros from phone numbers or erroneously convert ID codes into dates.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our CSV converter.
