FAQ

Will my special characters display correctly?

Yes. We detect the file's encoding (UTF-8, Windows-1252, etc.) and convert to Unicode before creating the Excel file.

Does it support large files?

200 000 rows process without freezing the tab. The heavy lifting runs off the main thread — you can keep scrolling while it works.

Fix CSV encoding

Seeing é, ü, ö where you expected é, ü, ö? The file was saved in one encoding and read in another. We figure out which one, then convert to UTF-8 so Müller looks like Müller again.
