What is Line Endings?

A line-ending normalizer for CSV files, including detection of the current mix (CRLF/LF/CR counts).

How it works

The CSV parses and re-serializes, then every line break is rewritten to the target ending.

Examples

Cross-platform files

Convert a Windows CRLF file to Unix LF (or back) so scripts and git don't choke on invisible line-ending differences.

Common mistakes

Mixed endings in one file

Files edited across platforms can contain both CRLF and LF. The tool normalizes everything to one style and reports what it found.

Frequently asked questions

Why do line endings matter?

Windows uses CRLF, Unix uses LF. Mismatches cause spurious git diffs and break shell scripts and parsers.

Which endings can I convert to?

LF (Unix/macOS), CRLF (Windows), and classic CR (old Mac).
