Why CSV instead of .xlsx?

The .xlsx format is a compressed binary that needs heavy libraries to parse. CSV export from Excel is one click and keeps this tool fast and private.

How are columns detected?

The tool splits on commas or tabs, treats the first row as headers, and auto-sizes columns to fit the page.

Can I paste data directly instead of exporting a CSV file?

Yes — pasting rows directly works the same way as dropping a CSV file, as long as the values are separated by commas or tabs.

Will formulas or formatting from my spreadsheet be preserved?

No — this converts the underlying values into a plain table. Formulas should be evaluated to their results before export, and cell formatting like colors or conditional formatting won't carry over.

Is there a row or column limit?

There's no hard limit, though very large datasets may produce a longer, multi-page PDF and take a bit more time to render.
