FAQ

What happens during XLSX to TSV conversion?

The converter exports one worksheet into tab-separated text so the data can be imported by systems that expect TSV.

Are uploaded files kept permanently?

No. Files are kept only for a short time and downloads are served through temporary 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.
