FAQ
Common questions
What is ImportFix?
A pre-import CSV repair tool for fixing structural issues before upload.
Is this a spreadsheet editor?
No. It is focused on diagnosing and repairing import-related CSV problems.
Do I need an account?
No, not for the MVP.
What file types does ImportFix support?
ImportFix supports CSV files and standard Excel workbook uploads (.xlsx and .xls). Excel files are converted from the first worksheet into the same repair flow before preview and export.
What are the free limits?
Free export is intended for files up to 1,000 rows or 500 KB. Larger files and some advanced repair options trigger premium export.
Does my file stay private?
For standard files, processing is designed to happen in the browser where possible. That means you can inspect and repair local CSVs or Excel uploads without needing an account.
Can it fix every broken CSV?
No. It should handle common structural problems well, and clearly show what it found when a file needs manual review.
Can I preview the repaired file before exporting?
Yes. ImportFix is built around scanning the file, applying selected repairs, and showing the repaired preview before download.
Does ImportFix support Excel files?
Yes. ImportFix can read standard Excel workbooks for input and convert the first worksheet into the repair workflow. Export stays focused on cleaned CSV output.
Who is this for?
Admins, operations people, consultants, developers, and small businesses dealing with messy CSV exports.
