Everything you need to know about using CSV Viewer

Getting Started

How to Upload a CSV File

Uploading your CSV file is simple:

  1. Click the upload area or drag and drop your CSV file
  2. Wait for the file to be processed (usually takes just a few seconds)
  3. Your data will automatically appear in a clean, organized table

Searching and Filtering

Use the search bar at the top of the table to quickly find specific data. You can search across all columns or filter by specific data types. The search is case-insensitive and supports partial matches.

Viewing Large Files

CSV Viewer uses virtual scrolling technology to handle large files efficiently. Even files with millions of rows will load quickly and remain responsive. Only the visible rows are rendered, ensuring smooth performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What file formats are supported?

CSV Viewer supports standard CSV (Comma-Separated Values) files. The tool automatically detects delimiters and handles various CSV formats including those with different separators.

Is my data secure?

Yes, your data is completely secure. All processing happens locally in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy and security.

What is the maximum file size?

There's no strict limit, but very large files (over 100MB) may take longer to process. The tool is optimized to handle files of any size using efficient memory management.

Can I edit the data?

Currently, CSV Viewer is designed for viewing and analyzing data. Editing capabilities may be added in future updates.

Do I need to create an account?

No, CSV Viewer is completely free to use and requires no registration or account creation. Simply upload your file and start viewing your data.

Troubleshooting

File won't upload

Make sure you're using a valid CSV file. Check that the file isn't corrupted and try refreshing the page. If the problem persists, try opening the file in a text editor to verify it's properly formatted.

Data looks incorrect

CSV Viewer automatically detects headers and data types. If something looks wrong, check that your CSV file uses standard formatting. Ensure proper encoding (UTF-8 is recommended).

Performance issues

For very large files, allow a few moments for initial processing. The tool uses virtual scrolling, so only visible rows are rendered. If you experience slowdowns, try filtering or searching to reduce the visible dataset.
