How the CSV to Timeline Converter works
- Paste the CSV with a header row.
- Name the title, start and end columns.
- Check the flagged rows. Reversed dates and unparseable values are almost always data entry errors rather than conversion problems.
FAQ
What date formats are handled?
ISO, and common regional formats where they are unambiguous. Genuinely ambiguous dates like 03/04/2026 are flagged rather than guessed, because guessing wrong produces a plausible timeline that is quietly wrong by months.
What if an event has no end date?
It is treated as a point event rather than a span, which most timeline renderers handle. Rows with an end but no start are flagged, since that is nearly always an error.
Is my data uploaded?
No. Conversion runs in the browser, so project data or anything commercially sensitive stays on your device.
