CSV Merger

Combine multiple CSV files into one

Combine multiple CSV files into one. Choose a vertical merge to stack rows from every file into a single longer file, or a horizontal merge to place the files' columns side by side into a single wider file. You can reorder the files before merging and preview the result before downloading.

A sample run

You have monthly export files with identical columns and need one combined CSV for the year.

Input

jan.csv, feb.csv, mar.csv (same schema)
CSV Merger produces

Output

combined.csv, one header, 3 files’ rows concatenated in order

Files are stacked with the header kept once and column order reconciled by name, so a reordered column in one file does not silently misalign data. It warns on schema mismatches rather than producing a corrupt merge.

About the CSV Merger

Combine multiple CSV files into one. Choose a vertical merge to stack rows from every file into a single longer file, or a horizontal merge to place the files' columns side by side into a single wider file. You can reorder the files before merging and preview the result before downloading.

How to use

  1. 1Upload two or more CSV files
  2. 2Reorder the files if needed
  3. 3Choose vertical (append rows) or horizontal (merge columns)
  4. 4Preview the merged output and download

Key features

  • Vertical merge that stacks rows and drops repeated headers
  • Horizontal merge that concatenates columns by row position
  • Drag to reorder files before merging
  • Empty-cell padding so columns stay aligned when files differ in length
  • Header row toggle
  • Merged output preview before download

How it works

Vertical merge (append rows) takes the first file as the base and appends the data rows of each following file beneath it, skipping the repeated header rows so the combined file has one header. The files are concatenated in the order you arrange them, so this is the right choice when every file shares the same column layout, such as monthly exports of the same report.

Horizontal merge (merge columns) joins the files by row position: row 1 of file A is followed by row 1 of file B, row 2 by row 2, and so on, producing rows that are the concatenation of each file's columns. The output uses the longest file's row count and pads shorter files with empty cells so columns stay aligned. This is a positional side-by-side combine, not a database-style JOIN on a key column, so it works best when the files are already in matching row order. There is a header toggle that controls whether subsequent files' header rows are kept or dropped.

Where this fits a data pipeline

  • Consolidating monthly exports

    Stack monthly CSV reports that share the same columns into a single annual dataset.

  • Combining split files

    Reassemble files that were previously split for emailing or batch processing.

  • Placing related columns side by side

    Combine files that are already in the same row order so their columns sit next to each other in one file.

Frequently asked questions

Does the horizontal merge join on a key column?

No. Horizontal merge combines files by row position (row 1 with row 1, row 2 with row 2), not by matching a shared key. For key-based lookups, sort both files into matching order first.

How many files can I merge at once?

There is no hard limit. Performance depends on total row count and your browser memory.

How do I remove duplicates after merging?

This tool does not deduplicate. Run the merged file through the CSV Duplicate Remover to find and drop duplicate rows.

Related tools and how they differ

  • CSV File Comparator: Diffs two versions of one dataset, flagging added, removed, and modified rows; use it to verify a merge kept every row instead of combining files.
  • CSV Duplicate Remover: Run it on the merged file to clean up duplicate rows that the union created; match by all or specific key columns and keep first, last, or none.
