Masking Logic
How to mask sensitive columns in spreadsheet exports
Mask Payload reads the header row first, then masks cells under common sensitive column names such as email, phone, cardNumber, token, or password.
- Header-aware masking for structured rows copied from Excel or exported as CSV/TSV
- Pattern-based masking for embedded plain text values
- Readable output with copy/download options for clean handoff

Why Excel export masking matters before sharing files
Excel and spreadsheet files are commonly exported from admin dashboards, analytics systems, billing tools,
and CRM platforms. Those exports may include direct identifiers, contact information, and
internal notes that should not be shared in raw form.
A browser-based Excel masker helps preserve the usefulness of tabular examples while
reducing the chance that sensitive customer fields are passed to external systems.
