Hi Product Hunt! I'm Boris, UX/UI designer and creator of CSV2Input Chrome plugin.
As a vector art contributor, I create and upload icons and graphics to platforms such as Adobe Stock, The Noun Project, and Iconfinder. Each one wants the same metadata – keywords, descriptions, categories – but in slightly different formats. Some support bulk upload, most don't.
I thought keeping everything in a neat CSV file made me organized. In reality, I'd just turned myself into a slightly faster copy-paste robot, spending entire evenings manually entering the same data across platforms.
One night, after too many hours of this mindless form-filling routine and realizing I'd wasted yet another entire evening on copy-paste work, I snapped. No more. I opened my editor and built the simplest thing that could work:
- Load a CSV file in the browser.
- Show each field’s value as a clickable button.
- Insert text into any active form field with a single click.
100% local – No cloud, no login, no data ever leaves your machine
What started as my personal stock platform survival tool revealed something bigger. This problem exists everywhere. The same tedious copy-paste work happens in:
- QA teams inputting identical test data again and again
- Researchers annotating large datasets (images, audio, text)
- Support agents with standard response templates
- Content creators uploading to multiple platforms
Anyone filling in the same internal forms hundreds of times
This isn't some fancy AI automation suite. It's a dead-simple "paste helper" born out of pure frustration. It does exactly one thing well: eliminates the tedious dance between your spreadsheet and any web form. No complexity, no learning curve, no setup – it just works.
I hadn’t planned on sharing this, but it’s brought me so much relief that I decided to put it on the Chrome Web Store - for free.
P.S. Open to any feedback or ideas to make it more useful.
