From columnar storage to a sheet someone can read
The request behind this tool is always the same: an analyst, a manager or an auditor needs to look at data that currently exists as a .parquet in a bucket, and the person being asked does not want to stand up a notebook to produce a spreadsheet. Drop the file here instead. Every column arrives typed - numbers as numbers, timestamps in ISO form, booleans real - so filters and pivot tables work immediately.
Excel’s own 1,048,576-row ceiling is the one hard boundary; longer files belong in Parquet to CSV, which goes to five million rows. Nested columns are serialised as JSON in their cells rather than dropped, so the workbook remains a faithful view of the data.
In memory, capped, and gone on delivery
Parquet exports come from production systems, which makes them exactly the files that should never rest on a converter’s disk. This one is read entirely in memory and deleted the moment your download is delivered. Hard caps on rows, columns and output size keep a hostile file from expanding without bound, and text cells carry the standard formula-injection neutralisation, so a string from your data cannot execute in the workbook.
For scheduled exports, the API runs this at /api/convert/parquet-to-xlsx with async jobs and signed webhooks.
