CSVTidy VS ShellNewHandler

CSVTidy's answer

Every other online CSV tool asks you to upload your file to their server. CSVTidy does the work in your browser — the file never leaves your machine. That means you can clean spreadsheets with customer data, salaries, or medical records without sending them to a stranger's server, and there's no file size limit imposed by an upload.

CSVTidy's answer

Three reasons: nothing is uploaded, there's no signup, and all 28 tools are real working transforms rather than previews that ask you to pay before you see the result. You can verify the privacy claim yourself — open your browser's network tab and watch that no request is made when you load a file.

CSVTidy's answer

Anyone who regularly receives messy spreadsheets from someone else: operations and finance people, analysts, CRM and marketing admins, and developers who need a quick CSV to JSON or SQL conversion without writing a script. It's aimed at people who know exactly what's wrong with their file and just want it fixed.

CSVTidy's answer

It started from repeatedly needing to clean the same kinds of messy exports — duplicate rows, five different date formats in one column, names that needed splitting — and being unwilling to upload files containing real customer data to a random converter site. Doing it in the browser removes that trade-off entirely.

CSVTidy's answer

Next.js and TypeScript, with Papa Parse for CSV parsing and SheetJS for Excel files. All processing runs client-side in the browser — there is no backend that touches user files.
