Disavow File to CSV Converter
Convert a disavow file to CSV so you can review it in a spreadsheet. Paste your disavow.txt and this free tool turns every line into a row with its line number, type (domain, URL or comment), value and domain. You can sort, filter and share the list with your team before you make changes.

What is a disavow file to CSV converter and when should you use it?
A long text file is hard to review with a team. A spreadsheet lets you sort by domain, filter out comments and add your own notes column. This converter keeps the original line numbers, so you can find each entry again in your file. When you are done, paste the domain column into the Disavow File Generator to build a fresh file. Once converted into CSV, you can sort and filter your link inventory, or clean raw Search Console exports using the Search Console Links CSV Cleaner. To inspect and format your disavow text directly, use the Disavow File Validator and Disavow File Cleaner. To build new disavow files, use the Disavow File Generator or identify unnatural link patterns with the Toxic Backlink Checker. For ongoing link audits, combine records with the Disavow File Merger, track changes with Compare Disavow Files, remove duplicate rows with the CSV Deduplicator, extract target columns via CSV Column Extractor, extract hostnames with the URL to Domain Extractor, and review TLD patterns using the Backlink TLD Distribution tool.
How do you use it?
- Paste or upload your disavow file.
- Choose the delimiter that your spreadsheet expects.
