All processing stays in your browser. Paste production-shaped samples without uploading secrets.

Workflow

Start with a small, representative sample. Confirm structure, then scale to full exports.

If the source is CSV, fix encoding and delimiters before converting—garbage in propagates to Excel.

Common mistakes

Treating converted output as trusted without schema or type checks downstream.

Pro tips
