Frequently asked questions

Are my Excel files uploaded?

No. The conversion uses a client-side library (SheetJS) to read and parse the Excel file directly inside your browser memory. Nothing is ever uploaded over the internet.

Can it convert complex nested JSON?

The tool is optimized for tabular data (arrays of flat objects). Deeply nested JSON may be stringified or omitted in CSV/Excel formats.

Is there a file size limit?

Yes. To prevent your web browser from freezing while parsing huge datasets into text, there is a strict 500KB file size limit for uploads.
