Tablesmit

Export to CSV — clean, safe, and universally compatible.

One click exports your table as a properly formatted CSV file. Compatible with every spreadsheet, database, data pipeline, and analysis tool that reads structured data.

Benefits

Injection-safe sanitisation

CSV injection is a real vulnerability — values starting with =, +, -, or @ can execute formulas when opened in Excel. Tablesmit sanitises every cell value before export, wrapping dangerous characters safely.

Works with everything

CSV is the universal format for structured data. Every spreadsheet application, database, data warehouse, and analysis tool reads it. If a system can import data, it reads CSV.

Caption exports as a header comment

If your table has a caption, it exports as the first line of the CSV. Analysis tools that support comments display it as context. Tools that don't simply skip it.

Processed entirely in your browser

The CSV is generated using PapaParse, entirely client-side. Your data is never uploaded to a server. The file downloads instantly, direct from memory.

How it works

1

Build your table

Set up your rows, columns, and data. Column types, themes, and borders are a display layer — CSV export contains the raw values.

2

Click CSV in the Export panel

Find the Export section in the right sidebar. Click CSV. The file downloads immediately.

3

Open in any tool

Open the file in Excel, Google Sheets, Python, R, a database importer — anything that reads CSV. The data is clean and ready.

Use cases

  • Exporting a data table for import into a PostgreSQL or MySQL database
  • Sharing structured data with a developer or analyst who will process it programmatically
  • Exporting to CSV for use in Python (pandas), R, or a statistical analysis tool
  • Creating a clean dataset file from manually entered table data
