[?]What is an ADIF file?
ADIF (Amateur Data Interchange Format) is the open international standard used by amateur radio operators to log two-way radio communications (QSOs), frequencies, signal reports, modes, and gridsquares.
[?]Can I open the resulting CSV in Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets?
Yes. The generated CSV strictly adheres to RFC 4180 with proper quoting and UTF-8 encoding, making it compatible with all modern spreadsheet applications.
[?]Which ADIF tags are extracted?
All standard ADIF fields including callsign, QSO date, time, band, mode, RST sent/received, frequency, operator name, QTH, and grid locator are parsed.
[?]Is my logbook data private?
Yes. All processing occurs entirely in client-side Web Workers. Your personal station records and callsigns are never transmitted over the internet.
[?]Why convert from ADI to CSV?
ADI Document (ADI) and Comma-Separated Values (CSV) serve distinct roles across the digital workflow. Converting to CSV provides optimized compatibility, modern compression efficiency, or standardized playback across web browsers, operating systems, and media production environments.
[?]Is the ADI to CSV conversion lossless or lossy?
The output format (CSV) is inherently lossless or supports lossless operation. Your original visual or audio fidelity is mathematically preserved without quantization artifacts.
[?]Does convrtr upload my files to any cloud server?
Never. convrtr is architected with a strict zero-upload model. All processing, decoding, decompression, and encoding happen 100% locally on your machine using sandboxed WebAssembly and Web Workers. Your data never touches an external server, database, or analytics collector.
[?]How can I convert ADI to CSV from the terminal / command line?
You can execute this conversion locally via command-line utilities such as ffmpeg, cwebp, or ImageMagick. For example: see the developer terminal recipe provided in the technical specifications dossier above. convrtr provides the identical local-first capability directly inside your browser without installing CLI packages.
[?]Can I batch convert multiple ADI files to CSV simultaneously?
Yes. You can drop multiple .adi files into the instrument to process them concurrently in browser Web Workers, or click 'Open in Master Studio' to queue mixed formats, configure individual targets, and export as a single ZIP archive.
