FAQ
Common questions
Is my file uploaded?
No. Content, name, columns, values and exports stay in the browser.
What file size is supported?
Capacity depends on browser and memory. The app selects interactive, large-file or streaming mode before reaching a limit.
Are long identifiers and leading zeros preserved?
Yes. Fields remain text until an explicit type conversion is added.
