Does this validate CSV format?

The tool performs basic validation to check if the decoded content looks like CSV (has commas or newlines). For full CSV validation and parsing, you can import the downloaded file into a spreadsheet application.

Can I edit the CSV after decoding?

The output is read-only in this tool. After downloading the CSV file, you can open it in Excel, Google Sheets, or any text editor to view and edit the data as needed.
