Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to install anything to open a Parquet file?
No. This converter reads Apache Parquet entirely in your browser using JavaScript — no Python, Spark, or command-line tools required.
Which Parquet compression codecs are supported?
Uncompressed, Snappy, Gzip, and Zstandard — which covers files produced by Pandas, Spark, DuckDB, and most data tools.
Is my data uploaded to a server?
Never. The file is parsed locally in your browser, so it works offline and your data stays private.
How are nested or complex Parquet columns handled?
Nested structures (lists, maps, structs) are serialized to JSON strings in the CSV so no data is lost.
