CSV to Google Sheets FAQ

How do I import CSV to Google Sheets?

Using our converter is simple:

1. Go to our CSV to Google Sheets converter
2. Upload your CSV file (drag and drop or browse)
3. Review the preview and adjust options if needed
4. Authorize the connection to your Google account
5. Click "Upload to Google Sheets" to create your spreadsheet

Is my data secure?

Yes. Your CSV file is processed entirely in your browser before upload. We don't store or have access to your data. The data is only sent to Google Sheets after you explicitly authorize the connection. All communication with Google uses secure OAuth protocols.

What permissions are required?

The converter requires permission to create and edit Google Sheets in your Google account. This allows it to create a new spreadsheet with your CSV data. You can revoke these permissions at any time through your Google account settings.

What's the max file size / row limit?

For the free in-browser converter:

• Maximum file size: 10MB
• Maximum rows: 50,000 rows

Google Sheets itself supports up to 10 million cells, but our converter limits are set to ensure fast, reliable processing in your browser.

Can I add data to an existing Google Sheet?

Currently, the converter creates a new Google Sheet with your CSV data. Support for appending to existing sheets may be added in future updates. For now, you can manually copy data from the new sheet to an existing one if needed.

What happens to my CSV file after upload?

Your CSV file is processed in your browser and never stored on our servers. The data is uploaded directly to Google Sheets in your Google account. You can delete the CSV file from your device after successful upload - your data is safely stored in Google Sheets.

Can I share the Google Sheet after import?

Yes! Once your CSV is imported to Google Sheets, you can share the spreadsheet just like any other Google Sheet. Use the Share button in Google Sheets to grant access to specific people or make it publicly accessible.

What if the upload fails?

If upload fails, it may be due to:

• Network connectivity issues
• Google account authorization problems
• File size exceeding limits
• Google Sheets API rate limits

Try again after checking your internet connection and Google account access. If problems persist, try our CSV to Excel converter as an alternative.

Do I need a Google account?

Yes, you need a Google account to use this converter. The account is used to create and store the Google Sheet with your CSV data. If you don't have a Google account, you can create one for free at accounts.google.com.
