Overview

Parquet is a compact, column-based file format used by data tools such as Spark, DuckDB, BigQuery and pandas. It stores each column together and compresses it, so files are small and analytics queries read only the columns they need.

This hub collects the free Data Utility tools and guides for Parquet: converting CSV, JSON and Excel to Parquet, opening a Parquet file, and understanding when Parquet is the right choice. Everything runs in your browser and your files are never uploaded.
