Frequently asked questions
What counts as an empty row?
A row where every cell is empty or contains only whitespace (spaces and tabs). A row with even a single non-blank cell is kept.
Is the header kept?
Yes. When 'First row is a header' is ticked the header is always preserved at the top, regardless of its contents.
Does it also dedupe rows?
No, this mode only drops blanks. To also remove duplicates, use the CSV Cleaner tool and pick the Dedupe tab, or run both tools back to back.
Is there a size limit?
Up to 2 MB of CSV per job, comfortably tens of thousands of rows.
How long is the result kept?
The cleaned .csv is auto-deleted after 7 days. Re-download is available during that window via the secure link.
