Question 1

What file formats are supported?

Accepted Answer

SheetCompare supports Excel (.xlsx, .xls), CSV, JSON, XML, and TSV files. You can compare any combination of these formats against each other.

Question 2

Is my data safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All file processing happens entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your files are never uploaded to any server. We cannot see, access, or store your data.

Question 3

How large of files can I compare?

Accepted Answer

A free account compares files up to 1,000 rows. Pro raises that to 250,000 rows, and Team removes the cap entirely. Everything runs in your browser, so speed also depends on your device.

Question 4

Do I need to create an account?

Accepted Answer

Our free file converters run in your browser with no account at all. To compare two files, create a free account: it takes a moment, needs no credit card, and unlocks files up to 1,000 rows.

Question 5

Can I export the results?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can export your comparison results to an Excel file with color-coded highlighting preserved, making it easy to share with your team.

Question 6

How does the comparison work?

Accepted Answer

SheetCompare uses key column matching to align rows between your two files, then performs a cell-by-cell diff to identify additions, deletions, and modifications.
