Frequently asked questions
What is the maximum CSV file size I can open?
There is no hard limit. Files are uploaded in chunks and processed with DuckDB on the server, so even multi-gigabyte files open without freezing your browser.
Does the file stay on the server?
No. Your file is processed in memory for your session only and purged automatically when you close the tab or upload a new file.
Why does Excel fail to open large CSV files?
Microsoft Excel has a hard limit of 1,048,576 rows per worksheet. Files larger than this are simply truncated or fail to open. Large CSV Viewer has no such limit.
Can I sort and filter a large CSV file?
Yes. Sorting and filtering run server-side using DuckDB, so they operate on the full dataset regardless of size — not just the visible page.
Is it free to open large CSV files?
Yes, completely free. No account, no credit card, and no file size paywall.
