CSV content calendar preview

Paste a CSV with date, platform and caption columns and this tool renders it as a real calendar grid — one month at a time, posts placed on the day they are scheduled — so you can spot a bunched-up week or a gap before you import anything. Header names are matched loosely (Date, Post date, Platform, Network, Caption, Content and similar all work).

Preview your CSV content calendar

Header names like Date, Platform and Caption are matched loosely. Nothing you paste is uploaded.

Paste a CSV with dated rows to see the calendar preview.

How to use the CSV to calendar preview

  1. Paste your CSV text. Copy a CSV with at least a date column, ideally also platform and caption columns, and paste it into the box.
  2. Let the tool detect your columns. It looks for header names close to Date, Platform and Caption; a summary shows which of the three it found.
  3. Review the calendar grid. Each month present in your data renders as its own Sunday-first grid, with every post shown on its scheduled day.
  4. Spot bunching or gaps. Days with several posts stacked together, or long empty stretches, are immediately visible in the grid layout.
  5. Adjust your spreadsheet and re-paste. Move dates around in your source file and paste the updated CSV back in to see the grid update.

Worked examples

A 30-row CSV becomes one month grid

A file with 30 rows across October 2026 lays out as one calendar grid for "October 2026", with each row placed on its own day.

A CSV spanning two months renders two grids

Rows dated across both September and October render as two separate month grids, one after the other, in date order.

CSV content calendar FAQ

What column names does the preview recognise?
Date, Post date, Scheduled date and similar for the date column; Platform, Network or Channel; and Caption, Content, Text or Copy.
What happens if my CSV has no recognisable date column?
The preview cannot place anything on a grid without a date, so it shows a message asking you to check your header names.
What date formats does it accept?
ISO dates like 2026-10-01, US-style dates like 10/01/2026, and most other common formats a browser’s own date parser understands.
Can I use this with SkedCast’s own bulk-import CSV?
Yes — the bulk-import file’s content, platforms and scheduledAt columns are read by the same header matching.
Does the preview validate my data, or just lay it out?
It only lays your data out visually — use the bulk CSV validator first if you also need real schema-level validation.
Does pasting my CSV upload or store it anywhere?
No. The grid is built entirely in your browser from the text you paste — nothing is uploaded or saved.
Can I preview a calendar that spans several months at once?
Yes — every distinct month found in your data gets its own grid, rendered one after another in order.
