Diff CSV
Diff CSV compares two tables on shared columns and labels each row both, only_left, or only_right in a _diff column.
Conversion runs entirely in your browser. CSV contents are not uploaded to a server for this transform.
Key features
- Client-side parsing and transform
- Copy or download CSV output
- Works with paste or file upload
About the two CSV files to CSV with _diff status format
Row equality is based on shared column values joined with an internal separator — duplicate identical rows collapse to one key.
Common use cases
- Change detection between exports
- QA of cleaned files
How to use this tool
- Paste or upload CSV (and a second file when the tool needs it).
- Set options if shown, then click Transform.
- Copy or download the result.
Tips for best results
- Ensure both files share the columns that define sameness.
- Preview before download and keep a copy of the original file.
Common pitfalls
Quoted commas and newlines must stay valid CSV — paste intact exports when possible.
