❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How large CSV files can I open without Excel crashing?
Our CSV editor uses virtual scrolling technology to handle files up to 1GB in size with millions of rows. Unlike Excel which loads everything into memory, we only render what you can see, preventing crashes and maintaining smooth performance even with massive datasets.
Is my CSV data safe? Do you upload my files to your servers?
Absolutely safe! Our CSV editor processes everything locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your files never leave your device - they're not uploaded to our servers or stored anywhere online. This ensures complete privacy and works even when you're offline.
What's the difference between CSV, TSV, and other delimited files?
CSV (Comma-Separated Values) uses commas to separate data fields. TSV (Tab-Separated Values) uses tabs. Some European countries use semicolons due to comma being a decimal separator. Our tool auto-detects the delimiter and handles all these formats seamlessly.
Can I convert CSV to JSON for my web application?
Yes! Our built-in CSV to JSON converter transforms your data into a properly formatted JSON array of objects. Each row becomes an object with column headers as keys. This is perfect for APIs, web applications, and data exchange between systems.
Why is your tool faster than Google Sheets for large files?
Google Sheets loads entire files into memory and syncs with their servers, causing slowdowns with large datasets. Our tool uses virtual scrolling to only render visible rows and processes everything locally, resulting in much better performance for large CSV files.
How do I clean and prepare messy CSV data?
Use our filtering tools to find empty cells, duplicate values, or specific patterns. Sort columns to group similar data together. Edit cells directly by double-clicking. Use the statistics panel to identify data quality issues. Then export your cleaned data in your preferred format.
Which browsers and devices are supported?
Our CSV editor works on all modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) and is fully responsive for mobile and tablet use. We use standard web technologies for maximum compatibility across all platforms and operating systems.
