What it does

This tool turns each CSV row into an INSERT statement for the table name you choose, ready to seed a database. Tick the option to prepend a matching CREATE TABLE.

Values are quoted and escaped safely: numbers stay unquoted, empty cells become empty strings, and single quotes inside text are doubled.

Safe by construction

Identifiers are wrapped in double quotes and string values use single quotes with any embedded quote doubled, so the generated SQL is valid and resistant to breaking on apostrophes.

The output is portable ANSI SQL that most databases accept, including PostgreSQL, MySQL and SQLite.

Private and unlimited

Every conversion happens locally in your browser, so your data is never uploaded, logged or stored on a server. You can use it on confidential exports without a second thought, and it keeps working offline once the page has loaded.

There is no sign-up, no watermark and no row limit: the only ceiling is your device's memory.

Frequently asked questions

Does it create the table too?

Optionally. Turn on "Add CREATE TABLE" and it prepends a statement with every column typed as TEXT, which you can adjust to real types before running.

Which delimiter should I use?

Comma is the standard. Pick semicolon in regions where the comma is the decimal separator (common in German and other European exports), tab for TSV files, or pipe when your values already contain commas.

Is there a row or file-size limit?

There is no fixed row cap or daily quota. Because everything runs locally the practical limit is your device's memory, which comfortably handles the tens of thousands of rows most exports contain.

Is my data uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser with client-side JavaScript, so nothing you paste or drop ever leaves your device. That makes it safe for spreadsheets that contain customer emails, financial figures or other sensitive data.
