When this tool helps
Use this tool when copied values are separated by semicolons but need to become one item per line.
It is designed for simple pasted lists used in spreadsheets, CMS fields, forms, issue trackers, notes, and internal documents.
Common cleanup options
List cleanup
Turn tags, names, IDs, keywords, or short values into a line-by-line list.
Empty value control
Repeated semicolons can create blanks. Remove empty items when the output should contain only real values.
Before sorting
Convert semicolon separated values to lines before sorting, deduplicating, numbering, or trimming a list.

Privacy and limitations
This tool does not parse quoted CSV fields, escaped semicolons, or uploaded files.

Is this a full CSV parser?
No. It is for simple semicolon separated lists, not complex CSV or spreadsheet files.
