FAQ
Does this tool execute my SQL statements?
No. The converter only parses <code>CREATE TABLE</code> and <code>INSERT INTO</code> statements as text and renders the resulting table as an image. It never connects to a database or runs SQL commands.
Can I change fonts, colors, or styling?
The current version uses a fixed professional theme (font family, colors, padding, and row height) chosen for readability. You can post-process the PNG in an image editor if you need custom branding or styling.
Is there a limit on table size?
Very large tables will produce large PNG images, which may be slower to render and download and might hit browser memory limits. For huge datasets, consider exporting a filtered subset or splitting the table into multiple images.
What happens to long text in cells?
Cell content is measured and truncated with an ellipsis if it exceeds the available column width, so the table layout remains clean and readable.
Is my SQL data sent to any server?
No. All rendering is done with the HTML5 Canvas API directly in your browser. Your SQL input and generated PNG never leave your device.
