Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about processing, privacy, and output options.

How does nested object expansion work?▼
When nested parsing is enabled, headers containing dots (e.g., 'customer.contact.email') are automatically mapped into hierarchical JSON objects ({ customer: { contact: { email: ... } } }).
Is my CSV file uploaded to external servers?▼
No. The conversion runs 100% client-side in your browser using PapaParse and native JavaScript. No data packets ever leave your computer.
Can I convert numbers and booleans into actual types?▼
Yes, our smart type detection detects numeric strings and 'true'/'false' values, converting them to standard JavaScript numbers and booleans instead of raw strings.
What is the maximum supported file size?▼
The client-side validator accepts files up to 1MB, ensuring fast, crash-free performance right in your web browser.
