Converting a text file to CSV is one of the most common data tasks there is — and also one of the most misunderstood. The actual file format difference between TXT and CSV is smaller than most people think. Both are plain text. Both store data as characters. The difference is structure: a CSV file uses commas to separate values into columns and line breaks to separate rows, following a defined pattern that every spreadsheet, database, and analytics tool understands natively. A plain TXT file might have that same structure already — values separated by tabs, pipes, spaces, or commas — but saved with the wrong extension or without the standard delimiter that downstream tools expect. Converting it to CSV means reformatting the delimiter into standard comma separation and saving the result with a .csv extension so every tool opens it correctly. This guide covers every method: a free online converter for quick single-file conversions, Microsoft Excel's built-in import wizard for structured workflows, and Python for batch or automated processing. It also covers the most common problems — encoding errors, misaligned columns, and delimiter confusion and how to fix them.

An AVIF file is an image saved in the AV1 Image File Format — a modern, highly compressed format used across the web. It holds the same kind of photo or graphic a JPG would, but at roughly half the file size. The catch: it's new enough that some older apps and devices can't open it yet, which is usually why you landed here. If you just downloaded an image and it saved as something ending in .avif that won't open, you're in the right place. This guide explains what the file is, why you're suddenly seeing them, and exactly how to open one on Windows, Mac, iPhone, Android, and Linux — plus the one fix that works everywhere.

You downloaded an API response, received a configuration file, or exported data from a web app — and now you have a .json file sitting on your desktop with no obvious way to read it. You are not alone. JSON is now the most widely used data format on the web, powering everything from REST APIs to app settings to database exports.
