Frequently Asked Questions
There’s no hard limit, but very large files (10MB+) may cause browser performance issues. For extremely large files, consider using desktop text editors. The practical limit depends on your device’s memory and browser capabilities.
The generator preserves your exact text formatting. For structured formats like JSON or HTML, you need to provide properly formatted text – the tool won’t automatically fix syntax errors. Use the preview feature to verify your file’s structure before downloading.
No, this tool only creates text-based files. For binary files (like images or executables), you’ll need specialized software. However, you can generate files containing encoded binary data (like Base64) if needed.
Special characters are supported when using Unicode encodings (UTF-8 or UTF-16). For best results:
– Use UTF-8 encoding
– Ensure your text editor supports the encoding
– For HTML/XML files, use proper character entities (like © for ©)
Preview your file to verify special characters appear correctly.
Excel has specific CSV requirements:
– Use comma separators (some regions expect semicolons)
– Enclose text fields in quotes if they contain commas
– Use consistent row formatting
– Try UTF-8 encoding if special characters appear wrong
For complex data, consider generating an Excel file directly or using specialized CSV tools.
