FAQ
What happens during CSV to TSV conversion?
The service parses CSV rows and rewrites them with tab delimiters for systems that prefer TSV.
Are uploaded files kept permanently?
No. The planned pipeline keeps files for a short retention window and serves downloads through expiring links.
Can quality or formatting change?
Yes. Each converter page calls out what is preserved, what may be lost, and which settings matter before upload.

Guides and comparisons
CSV vs TSV: which delimiter is safer for your data?
CSV is more common, while TSV is often safer when values already contain commas and you need flatter parsing.
XLSX vs CSV: when do you need a workbook and when do you need plain text?
Choose XLSX for workbook structure, multiple sheets, and editing context. Choose CSV for flat imports and lightweight data handoff.
