About this Tool
Use Text to Columns to convert pasted structured text into a table. The tool splits lines by delimiter, tabs, repeated spaces, or fixed widths, then let the user name columns and export the result. It starts from raw text rather than an existing table column, which makes it useful for copied lists, logs, and plain-text reports.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is my text uploaded to a server?
No. The tool parses, transforms, previews, and exports data locally in your browser without uploading your input.
How is this different from Column Splitter?
Text to Columns starts with pasted raw text and creates a table. Column Splitter starts with an existing table and splits one selected column.
Can fixed-width text be parsed?
Yes. The tool lets users define column breaks for fixed-width reports.
What happens when rows have different numbers of columns?
The tool reports the mismatch clearly. Depending on the mode, missing cells can be kept empty and extra cells can be shown for review instead of being silently discarded.
What file sizes are practical in the browser?
Small and medium tables are the best fit. Very large files can use a lot of memory because parsing, previews, and exported results all live inside the browser tab.
