Getting Started with CSV Studio

Learn how to build your first data cleaning pipeline

Upload a File

Upload a CSV, TSV, XLSX, or XML file in the Studio. The app detects the delimiter and column types automatically. Your file is never uploaded to a server — it stays entirely in your browser. Note: the file is not saved between sessions; you'll re-upload it each time you open the pipeline.

Build Your Pipeline

Switch to the Pipeline tab and add transformation nodes from the left panel. Each node performs a specific operation on your data.

Configure Nodes

Click any node to configure its settings in the right panel. Select columns, set conditions, and customize behavior.

Run & Export

Click "Run Pipeline" to execute your transformations. Review the results, then export your clean data in your preferred format.

Tips & Best Practices

Preview your data first - Check the Preview tab to understand your data structure before building the pipeline.
Start simple - Add one node at a time and test frequently. It's easier to debug small changes.
Order matters - Nodes execute left-to-right. Put filtering early to reduce data volume for subsequent steps.
Check the Receipt - After running, review the execution receipt to see exactly what changed.
Save your work - Your pipeline structure is auto-saved in browser storage and persists across restarts. Export a JSON backup regularly so you don't lose your pipelines if you clear site data.
