I built *SmartCSV*, a free web tool that converts CSV files to Excel (.xlsx) with AI-powered format detection — *all processing runs locally in your browser, no uploads, no account required*.
What it does
* Drag & drop or browse CSV/TSV files and convert them to Excel (.xlsx) instantly.
* Batch processing: convert up to 50 files at once; supports files up to 100MB each.
* Smart detection: AI automatically detects encoding (UTF-8, GBK, etc.), delimiters (comma/semicolon/tab/pipe), and column data types with >95% accuracy.
* Customizable settings: include/exclude headers, trim whitespace, preserve leading zeros, date/number formats, and preview before download.
* Export-ready: handles Excel row limits, preserves formatting where possible, and offers scaled previews for large datasets.
* Works on desktop & mobile, PWA-friendly, and uses WebGL / WASM / Web Workers for performance.
Why this might be interesting
* *Privacy-first:* your CSV never leaves your device — zero server upload or storage.
* *Fast & practical:* useful for analysts, devs, accountants, and product teams who need reliable conversions without manual cleanup.
* *No friction:* no registration, no watermarks, no hidden costs — it’s free to use.
Technical & UX highlights
* Client-side processing (local by default) with optimized chunking for large files so the UI remains responsive.
* Intelligent pipeline: encoding detection → delimiter sniffing → type inference → preview → xlsx generation.
* Accessibility & mobile-first UI, virtualized preview for huge files, and clear user guidance through a 5-step conversion flow.
How to try
