FlatFilePro, for files where every character has a job

Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A browser-based converter that turns CSV, JSON, or delimited text into fixed-width files, and positional files back into CSV.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-09 issue.

Field notes

FlatFilePro performs both directions of the conversion locally in the browser. Its builder exposes field widths, padding, constants, delimiters, line endings, and multiple row layouts, then previews the first 20 records before download. The reverse workflow accepts TXT or DAT records up to 2 MB and can suggest columns from sample data. Layouts can be saved as .ffspec files, while output is constrained to ASCII without a BOM.
