Frequently Asked Questions
What CSV format works best for bulk downloading?
Use a simple CSV with URLs in the first column. A header row like "URL" is optional but recommended. Our tool automatically detects and validates all URLs regardless of column position.
Can I upload Excel files directly?
Yes! Our tool supports both .xlsx (Excel 2007+) and .xls (legacy Excel) formats. We automatically detect and extract URLs from your spreadsheet, even from multiple worksheets.
How many URLs can I have in my CSV/Excel file?
There's no hard limit. Our tool has successfully processed lists with 10,000+ URLs. For very large lists (5,000+ URLs), we recommend testing with smaller batches first to ensure optimal performance.
Do you support multiple sheets in Excel files?
Yes! Our tool scans all worksheets in Excel files and extracts URLs from any sheet. All valid URLs are combined into a single download queue.
What if my spreadsheet has other data besides URLs?
No problem! Our smart parser identifies URLs anywhere in your spreadsheet, even when mixed with other data types. Non-URL content is simply ignored during processing.
Can I include additional information like file names or categories?
While our tool focuses on the URLs for downloading, you can include additional columns for your own organization. The extra data won't affect the download process but can help you manage your lists.
