FAQ

Can I control the final image dimensions directly?

The tool automatically sizes the canvas based on text, font size, and padding. If you need exact dimensions, adjust font size and padding, or post-process the JPEG in an image editor.

What happens if my table is very wide?

Wide tables will produce wide images. On small screens you may need to scroll horizontally in the preview. For better readability, consider reducing columns or abbreviating text before conversion.

Is the generated JPEG suitable for printing?

For most print scenarios, use higher quality settings (90% or above) and larger font sizes so text remains crisp when printed.

Can I remove the header row from the image?

At the moment the tool treats the first parsed row as a header and gives it a distinct style. If you want a headerless table, adjust your MySQL input so the first row is regular data.

Is any of my data uploaded anywhere?

No. The canvas and JPEG generation run entirely in your browser. No data or images are sent to external servers.
