BROWSER-BASED BULK CONVERTER

FAQ

Straight answers about supported files, privacy, limits and how the converters work.

Is BulkConverter free to use?

Yes. The current browser-based converters can be used without creating an account or starting a trial.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

Most tools process files locally in your browser. Your files are not uploaded to a BulkConverter conversion server unless a tool clearly states otherwise.

Which file types can I convert?

BulkConverter supports coordinate CSV files, CSV, JSON, XML, SQL, Markdown, GeoJSON, KML, GPX, zipped Shapefiles, common image formats, PDFs and image-based OCR workflows.

Can I convert many files or rows at once?

Yes. The tools are designed for batch work. Practical limits depend on your browser, available memory, file size and the type of conversion.

Do I need to install software?

No. BulkConverter runs in a modern web browser. For the best experience, use a current version of Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari.

Will my original files be changed?

No. The converters create new output files. Your original files remain untouched on your device.

Which coordinate systems are supported?

The coordinate tools include WGS84, Web Mercator, RD New, common European national grids and WGS84 UTM zones, with more than 140 CRS definitions available.

Why does a large conversion sometimes feel slower?

Browser-based processing uses your own device. Large images, PDFs, geospatial datasets or very large tables can take longer and may use significant memory.

Can I use BulkConverter for sensitive files?

Local browser processing reduces unnecessary file transfer, but you should still follow your organisation’s security and data-handling policies.

What should I do when a conversion fails?

Check that the input format is valid, required companion files are included, column mappings are correct and the batch is not too large for your browser. Try a smaller sample to isolate the issue.

Does BulkConverter work on mobile devices?

The site opens on mobile, but complex conversions are usually easier and more reliable on a desktop or laptop with more memory and screen space.

How do I choose the right converter?

Use the Smart File Router on the homepage or open the converter overview. The router detects common file types and points you to the matching workflow.
