Does the CSV Viewer upload my files to a server?

No. The CSV Viewer uses client-side processing. Your files are read directly in the browser using the File API and are never uploaded to any server, ensuring total privacy.

What is the maximum file size the viewer can handle?

Due to the use of DOM Virtualization, the viewer can handle files with hundreds of thousands of rows. However, the actual limit depends on your browser's available RAM.

Can I use delimiters other than commas?

Yes. The tool features auto-detection for common delimiters including tabs (TSV), semi-colons, and pipes, though you can manually override the delimiter in the settings.

Does it support different character encodings like UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1?

Yes, the viewer is optimized for UTF-8 by default but allows users to specify different encodings to prevent character corruption in non-English datasets.

Is it possible to export the filtered results back to a CSV?

Absolutely. Once you have applied your filters and sorted your data, you can export the current view as a new CSV file for use in other applications.
