Does it also remove rows that are only partly filled?

No. Only fully blank rows are removed, so a row with one value and several empty cells stays — that data is preserved.

Is the file uploaded to remove the blank rows?

No. Everything happens locally in your browser. No file content is sent anywhere.

Can I remove empty rows and dedupe at the same time?

Yes. Turn on both rules and TidyCSV applies them in one pass — empty rows removed first, then duplicates.

Why this matters

Exports from spreadsheets and old systems often pad the file with blank rows — a trailing block at the end, or empty separator lines between sections. Importers either error on them or load thousands of empty records.

Blank rows also throw off COUNT and pivot tables, and they make a 200-row list look like a 1,000-row one. Deleting them by hand in a big file means scrolling and shift-clicking, easy to miss a few.

TidyCSV detects rows where every cell is empty and removes them in one pass, showing you how many it dropped so you can trust the result before exporting.

How to do it with TidyCSV

Open your CSV in TidyCSV.
Enable "Remove empty rows".
The overview shows the before/after row count so you can see exactly how many blank rows were removed.
