List to CSV
List to CSV is a free browser tool that lets you join lines into a comma-separated list. All counting, matching and rewriting happens in JavaScript on the page itself, so even long confidential drafts stay in your browser. It is used most by writers and editors cleaning up a draft before submission. Line endings from Windows, macOS and Linux are all understood. Free, unlimited, and free of the upsells most tools of this kind carry.

Frequently asked questions
- Will formatting be kept? — No. Pasted content is treated as plain text, so bold, colours and links are dropped.
- Does it handle languages other than English? — Yes — full Unicode support, so Cyrillic, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, accented Latin and emoji are all handled properly.
- Is there any signup? — None. List to CSV has no account, no email capture and no usage cap.
- Can I use it offline? — Once the page has loaded, yes — the work happens locally, so a dropped connection will not interrupt you.
