FAQ
How large a CSV can this handle?
Files up to 50 MB. Only 50 rows render in the table at a time — sorting and searching run over the full dataset, but the page stays fast because it never renders every row at once.
Can I edit the data here?
No — this tool is read-only by design, so opening a file to check something can't accidentally change it. For editing, use the CSV Editor tool instead.
How does sorting handle numbers vs text?
Click a column header to sort by it — if every visible value in that column is numeric, it sorts numerically; otherwise it sorts alphabetically. Click again to reverse the order.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No — the file is read and parsed entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
