About CSV (.csv) files
A CSV export opens directly in Excel, Google Sheets, or Numbers, which makes it the most practical way to proofread captions, hand them to a translator, or run find-and-replace across hundreds of cues. CaptionStack reads any CSV with start, end, and text columns and writes id,start,end,text with proper quoting.
Where .csv is used
- Excel, Google Sheets, and Numbers
- Translation and localization handoffs
