    Formats & batch

    Convert TSV & TXT: pick the right delimiter and encoding

  3. Novus Convert privacy model: a file processed locally in browser memory, held behind a temporary object URL, and released for download only after it passes a validation gate.
    Use cases

    Keep files private: local processing & the validation gate

    A hands-on tour of how Novus Convert keeps files private: active conversion runs in your browser memory on your device, signatures rather than filenames decide handling, and a validation gate withholds every download until the real result passes a signature, container, or decodability check.
