How to convert CSV to a list
- Paste your CSV into the input area. Commas inside quoted values stay inside their field.
- Confirm the header setting and choose the column to extract.
- Pick an output format — one item per line, comma-separated, semicolon-separated, or custom.
- Clean and copy the result, or download it as a text file.
Selecting a CSV column
When the first row contains headers, the column selector uses those names — for example, choose email to extract only email addresses. For a CSV without headers, columns are labeled by position so you can still select the field you need.
Handling headers and quoted values
The parser supports standard CSV quoting, including fields such as "Dallas, TX", line breaks inside quotes, and escaped quotes. Auto header detection is enabled for typical CSV exports, and you can switch to First row or No header when you know the structure.
CSV to List vs Comma to List
Use CSV to List when the input has rows and columns and you need one field from each row. For a simple string such as apple, banana, cherry, the faster Comma to List Converter is the better fit.
Examples
Email list
