Frequently Asked Questions

Is my CSV data safe when using this tool?

Yes, absolutely. All conversion happens entirely in your browser. Your CSV data is never sent to any server, ensuring complete privacy and security.

What delimiters are supported?

The tool supports comma, semicolon, tab, and pipe delimiters. You can select the appropriate delimiter from the dropdown menu before converting.

What is auto type detection?

Auto type detection analyzes each cell and determines whether it contains a number, date, or text. This ensures that numbers are formatted as numbers (not text) and dates are properly recognized in Excel.

Can I upload a CSV file instead of pasting?

Yes, you can drag and drop a CSV file onto the drop zone or click to browse and select a file from your device.

What Excel versions are supported?

The generated .xlsx files are compatible with Microsoft Excel 2007 and later, Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc, Apple Numbers, and all modern spreadsheet applications.

How are empty values handled?

Empty cells in your CSV are preserved as empty cells in the Excel file. The structure of your data is maintained exactly as provided.

Is there a file size limit?

There is no artificial size limit. However, extremely large files (megabytes) may cause browser performance issues. For most use cases, the tool handles files of any practical size instantly.

Can I convert multiple CSV files at once?

Currently, the tool processes one CSV file at a time. For multiple files, simply repeat the process for each file.
