Does it handle quoted fields with commas inside them?

Yes, the tool uses proper CSV parsing that respects quoted fields. Commas inside quotes are not treated as delimiters.

Can I convert a tab-separated file (TSV) to a standard CSV?

Yes, select 'Tab' as the source delimiter and 'Comma' as the target to convert TSV to CSV.

Does it preserve header rows?

Yes, the first row (header) is treated the same as data rows — it is converted along with everything else.

What happens with empty fields?

Empty fields are preserved correctly. Two consecutive delimiters will produce an empty field in the output.

🖼️Image CompressorShrink JPEG, PNG, and WebP files by 40–80% without visible quality loss. Useful for Shopify product photos, Squarespace uploads, or Gmail attachments when your image is a few megabytes too heavy. Drag a file in and the compressed version is ready in under two seconds. 📄Compress PDFReduce a PDF's file size by 30–70% so it fits under Gmail's 25 MB cap or a government portal's 10 MB limit. The tool downsamples embedded images and strips redundant object streams, then rebuilds a clean, readable document. Text layers stay sharp; scanned pages shrink the most. 📑Merge PDFsCombine multiple PDF documents into a single file while preserving bookmarks, form fields, and original page orientation. Drag files into the order you want, and the merged PDF downloads instantly. Common uses: stitching invoice, contract, and cover letter into one attachment before sending to a client. ✂️Background RemoverAutomatically cut the background out of any photo using AI segmentation and get a transparent PNG back.

Page-range syntax supports complex selections like "1-5, 8, 11-13". Useful when a single 80-page scan needs the signature page delivered separately to a different recipient. 🔄Image Format ConverterConvert between JPEG, PNG, WebP, BMP, and GIF with adjustable quality and lossy/lossless settings. Most common need: converting an old iPhone HEIC or Windows BMP into a format every website and email client accepts.

Built by one developer, deliberately kept simple

GoToolsOnline is an independent project built and run by Ben Praveen J, a full-stack developer in Tamil Nadu, India. The brief was narrow: build the kind of tools site I personally wished existed — one that does not ask for an account, does not stamp watermarks on your output, does not limit free usage to two files per day, and does not bury a 30-second task under a "Start Free Trial" button.

The site does not host thousands of templated variations of the same converter. Every tool here was written for this site and is maintained by the same person who answers contact@gotoolsonline.com. If something breaks, it gets fixed. If a tool is missing, email and I will often build it.

How your files are handled

Text tools like the word counter, JSON formatter, Base64 encoder, and hash generator run entirely in your browser — the data you paste never leaves your computer. File tools like PDF compress, image compression, and background removal upload over HTTPS, process in server memory, return the result, and discard the original. There is no archival storage path for user uploads. Connections use TLS; analytics are anonymised (IPs are hashed); cookie consent is handled through Google Consent Mode v2 with explicit accept and reject controls.

How this is funded

One revenue source: Google AdSense. No paid tier, no premium plan, no credit-card form hiding behind a feature. Ads pay for the VPS, the domain, and a little compensation for the time that goes into building and maintaining the tools. If you prefer, the cookie banner lets you decline personalised advertising — the tools still work the same either way. Read the full story on the about page.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to a file after I upload it?: File-based tools (PDF, image, media) receive your upload over HTTPS, process it in server memory for the duration of your request, return the result, and discard the original. There is no archival storage path for user uploads. Text tools run entirely in your browser and never transmit the data you paste. See the privacy policy for the full data-handling detail.
Are outputs watermarked or quality-limited?: No. The output you download is exactly what the tool produced — no watermark stamp, no logo, no "upgrade to remove this" nag. The free PDF compressor gives the same quality as the paid one because there isn't a paid one. This applies to every tool on the site, including PDF merge, image compression, and background removal.
What file size limits apply?: Most file tools accept uploads up to 500 MB. Image tools typically handle up to 50 MB per image. PDF tools support documents up to 500 MB. If a file is larger, compress or split it first using the free tools on this site. There are no daily usage limits.
Can I process multiple files at once?: Yes, for tools where batch processing makes sense. The image compressor accepts multiple images in one upload, PDF merge works on any number of documents, and the collage maker takes multiple photos at once. For single-file tools, run them repeatedly — there is no daily cap.
Which browsers are supported?: Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, Opera, and Brave on desktop and mobile. No extensions or plugins required. The site works on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS.
Who builds and runs GoToolsOnline?: The site is built and maintained by Ben Praveen J, a full-stack developer based in Tamil Nadu, India. There is no team, no investor, no VC — the same person who writes the tools also answers contact@gotoolsonline.com. You can also verify the human on the other side via LinkedIn.

CSV Delimiter — In-Depth Guide

CSV delimiter conversion changes the separator character used in delimited text files. Different systems and regions use different delimiters. While commas are standard in most English-speaking countries, European systems often use semicolons because commas serve as decimal separators. This tool converts between comma, semicolon, tab, pipe, and custom delimiters instantly.

Data analysts working with international datasets frequently encounter delimiter mismatches. A CSV file from a European colleague using semicolons will not import correctly into software expecting commas. This tool handles the conversion cleanly, including proper handling of fields that contain the target delimiter character within quoted strings to prevent data corruption.

System integrators connecting applications that expect different delimited formats use this tool to bridge format gaps. One system might export pipe-delimited data while another imports tab-separated values. Rather than writing custom conversion scripts for each integration point, this tool handles the transformation through a simple, reliable browser-based interface.

Tip: before converting, check whether your data contains the target delimiter within field values. If a field contains a comma and you are converting to comma-delimited, ensure proper quoting is applied. Tab-delimited format is often safest because tabs rarely appear in data values. Always verify a few rows of output to confirm the conversion handled edge cases correctly.
