What is Column Extractor?
The CSV Column Extractor lets you cherry-pick specific columns from a CSV file and export them as a new CSV, keeping only the data you need.
How it works
The tool parses the header row and presents each column as a clickable pill. Selected columns are extracted and reordered in the output.
- Paste CSV. Paste or drop your CSV file.
- Select columns. Click the column name pills to toggle which ones to keep.
- Copy or download. Get the CSV with only your selected columns.
Examples
Reduce a wide dataset
Extract just 'name' and 'email' from a 30-column CSV export.
Common mistakes
Forgetting to select columns
You must click at least one column before output is generated.
Alternatives
Spreadsheet column hiding
Export to a spreadsheet and delete unwanted columns manually.
Frequently asked questions
Does the output preserve column order?
