Large file performance

What to expect with 10k, 50k, and larger spreadsheet workflows.

Users running large BOM, quote, or price filesUpdated May 10, 2026

Common questions this answers

  • How large can my file be?
  • Why is the browser slow?
  • Will exports include all rows?

Browser-local tradeoff

Browser-local processing protects raw source files by default, but the browser still has memory and performance limits. Large spreadsheets can take longer to parse, compare, and render.

Practical tips

  • Use CSV for very large files when possible.
  • Close heavy browser tabs before running a large comparison.
  • Use filters and exception-first review instead of scrolling every row.
  • Exports should include the full result even when the visible table is batched for performance.

When to ask for help

If a normal export consistently fails, contact support with the workflow, file type, browser, approximate row count, and the step where it failed. Do not send raw files through the support form.
