HOW IT WORKS

Free File Combiner to One Dataset

Free access available now. No payment required during the current launch period.

Combine related Excel, CSV, TSV and structured-delimited text files into one normalized dataset.

Local processing & source-file safety. Your source files stay on your computer during normal document processing and are not uploaded to FilesStayLocal. The original source files are not modified; FilesStayLocal creates separate output files. Please review generated results before using them for important business or operational work.

What to expect: Structured files are normalized into one dataset. Free-form prose is not guessed into columns.

Source quality

Digital text and structured files work best

Best resultsText-based PDFs or structured spreadsheet/text files where content can be read normally by the desktop app.
Complex layoutsHeaders, repeated page headings, multiple tables, mixed narrative + tables and missing optional values are handled conservatively when the product supports them.
Scanned/image-only PDFsOCR is not enabled yet. Image-only inputs are detected and flagged for review instead of silently producing unreliable data.
Privacy

No website upload required

Select your files inside the downloaded desktop app. Source documents are processed locally on your computer; the website is used for account, licensing and downloads.

Your original files are never modified. FilesStayLocal creates a new output file.

Access

Try it without sharing your documents

Free Access duration: 2 hours. Duration is controlled by the license service.

Important limitation

Review matters when the source is ambiguous

FilesStayLocal is designed to preserve traceability and flag uncertainty rather than invent missing values. Highly inconsistent layouts, image-only sources and ambiguous fields can require human review.
