Parquet to SQL: common questions
- Are my Parquet files uploaded anywhere?
- No. This conversion runs entirely inside your browser, so the file never leaves your device. You can confirm it yourself: open the network tab of your browser's developer tools and watch that nothing is sent while the file converts.
- Is converting Parquet to SQL free?
- Yes, without a limit on how many files you convert and with no watermark on the result. Files up to 100 MB are covered by the free plan.
- Does converting Parquet to SQL lose quality?
- No. SQL stores the same content without discarding anything, so the result is identical in quality to the original.
- Do I need to install anything to open SQL files?
- No installation is needed for the conversion itself — it runs in the browser you already have. Opening the SQL afterwards needs whatever software normally handles SQL Insert Statements on your device.
