CSV Column Extractor
Keep or reorder only the CSV columns you choose by name.
ToolsSoup's CSV Column Extractor is a free online tool that pulls just the columns you need out of a CSV. Name the columns you want — in any order — and get back a clean CSV containing only those columns. Everything runs in your browser, so your data is never uploaded.
What is a CSV column extractor?
A CSV column extractor takes a CSV with many columns and keeps only the ones you ask for, dropping the rest. You choose the columns by their header names, and you can list them in a new order to rearrange the output. It is a fast way to trim a wide export down to the fields you actually need, or to reorder columns before importing the data somewhere else.
How to extract columns from a CSV online
Extracting columns with ToolsSoup takes just a few seconds:
- Paste your CSV into the input box.
- Type the column names you want, separated by commas — order matters.
- Click Extract, then copy the resulting CSV.
Can I reorder columns?
You can reorder columns simply by listing them in the order you want — the output follows your list, not the original file. Column names are matched case-insensitively, so Email and email both work, and the output keeps the original header spelling. If a name you type is not found, the tool tells you exactly which columns are missing.

Frequently asked questions
Is this CSV column extractor free?
Yes. Every tool on ToolsSoup is completely free to use, with no account, sign-up, or hidden limits.
How do I choose which columns to keep?
Type the header names of the columns you want, separated by commas. Only those columns are kept, in the order you list them.
Can I change the column order?
Yes. The output columns appear in the order you type them, so you can rearrange a CSV just by listing the names in a new order.
Is column matching case-sensitive?
No. Names are matched without regard to case, so Name matches name. The output uses the original header spelling from your file.
Is my data safe?
Absolutely. All extraction happens locally in your browser using JavaScript, so your CSV is never sent to or stored on any server.
