About Super Fix

One-click AI repair for broken CSV structure and encoding.

Did you open a CSV and see weird symbols () or broken columns? Super Fix analyzes the file byte-by-byte to detect encoding errors (UTF-8 vs Windows-1252) and structural misalignment.

It automatically fixes delimiters, removes BOMs, and aligns rows. It's the "magic wand" for messy data.

Category: Cleaning & Preparation

Common Use Cases

  • Fixing encoding issues from legacy systems
  • Repairing files that crash Excel
  • Standardizing delimiters

Key Features

  • Byte-level scan to detect UTF-8 vs Windows-1252 vs ISO-8859-1 encoding mismatches
  • Automatic delimiter detection and realignment (comma, semicolon, tab)
  • BOM (byte order mark) stripping and row-length normalization
  • Non-destructive to actual cell values, only structural issues are touched

The Super Fix tool is compatible with: Corrupted Files, Excel Exports with Errors.

Run Super Fix first on any file that fails to open cleanly, then chain it into Basic Cleaning to strip blank rows and whitespace, or Ghost Scrub if lookups and exact-match filters still behave oddly after the repair.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of problems does Super Fix detect?

It scans the file byte-by-byte for encoding mismatches like UTF-8 vs Windows-1252, stray BOM characters, and misaligned delimiters, then repairs them automatically.

Will it change my actual data values?

No, it only touches structural issues like encoding and delimiters, not the values inside your cells.

Built for anyone who receives CSVs from third-party systems, legacy exports, or unreliable partners and needs a file that opens correctly on the first try.
