Convert SKV to CSV

Understanding SKV and CSV file formats

The SKV file format, short for Semicolon Separated Values, is a type of text file where data fields are separated by semicolons. It is similar to the more common CSV format but uses a different delimiter. SKV files are often used for data exchange between applications that require semicolon delimiters.

The CSV (Comma Separated Values) file format is a widely used text format for representing tabular data. Each line in a CSV file corresponds to a row in the table, and each field in the row is separated by a comma. CSV files are popular due to their simplicity and compatibility with many applications, including spreadsheet software like Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets.

How to convert SKV to CSV

Converting an SKV file to a CSV file involves changing the delimiter from a semicolon to a comma. This can be done manually using a text editor or automatically using specialized software or online converters.

Best software for SKV to CSV conversion

One of the best tools for converting SKV to CSV is Microsoft Excel. Here’s how you can do it:

• Open the SKV file in Excel by selecting File → Open and choosing the SKV file.
• Excel will prompt you to specify the delimiter. Choose semicolon as the delimiter.
• Once the data is correctly displayed in Excel, go to File → Save As.
• Select CSV (Comma delimited) (*.csv) as the file format and save the file.

Alternatively, you can use online converters like Convertio or Zamzar for quick and easy conversion without installing any software.
