[?]What do I get for each event?
One row: uid, start, end, summary, location, description and recurrence rule — everything a spreadsheet or migration script needs, nothing a calendar app would hide.
[?]Are timezones converted?
Deliberately not: dates pass through verbatim (UTC Z, floating or TZID-qualified) so nothing is ever mis-inferred. Normalise in the spreadsheet if you need one zone.
[?]Do recurring events expand?
No — the RRULE rides along untouched for calendar apps to interpret. Expansion is a calendar computation, not a data conversion.
[?]Is my calendar uploaded anywhere?
No. Parsing and CSV writing run entirely inside your browser.
[?]Why convert from ICS to CSV?
ICS Document (ICS) 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 ICS 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 ICS 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 ICS files to CSV simultaneously?
Yes. You can drop multiple .ics 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.
