Frequently Asked Questions
This usually happens when a field contains a quote character that isn't properly escaped (e.g., "Height: 6'4""). Parsers get confused about where the field ends. Our tool detects these and adds the missing escape characters.
A ragged row occurs when a line in your CSV has fewer or more columns than the header row. This often happens due to unescaped line breaks. We automatically merge or pad these rows to match the correct column count.
Yes, to an extent. While this tool focuses on structure (quotes/rows), it also ensures the file is saved as standard UTF-8, which fixes many common encoding display errors.
