❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Can I convert large files? (e.g., 100MB CSV)
Yes – everything runs locally in your browser. Performance depends on your device
memory, but many users convert files with 100k+ rows smoothly.
Is my data sent to a server?
No. All parsing and conversion happen inside your browser. No file uploads, no external
requests.
What is a “recordset”?
A recordset is a collection of structured rows with consistent columns. Examples: array
of objects, CSV table, XML repeating elements, or pipe‑delimited file.
Why does Excel/PDF show a preview but not auto‑download?
Binary formats (XLSX, PDF) cannot be syntax‑highlighted, so we show a table preview
first. Click Export to download the actual file.
