Frequently Asked Questions

What if my CSV uses a different delimiter (e.g., semicolon, tab)?

Our converter attempts to automatically detect common delimiters (comma, semicolon, tab). If you encounter issues, ensure your CSV uses a standard delimiter or consider pre-processing it to use commas before uploading.

How is character encoding handled?

We primarily expect UTF-8 encoded CSV files. If your file uses a different encoding (like Latin-1), special characters might not convert correctly. It's best to save your CSV as UTF-8 before conversion if possible.
