How to convert PARQUET to SQLITE

  1. Add your PARQUET datasets

    Drop PARQUET files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.

  2. SQLITE is already chosen

    Press Convert. There is nothing else to set. The work happens in this tab.

  3. Download

    Save the SQLITE, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.

Why ToAny

  • Free, without an account

    No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.

PARQUET to SQLITE: what to expect

Parquet is binary, and spreadsheet programs cannot open it. SQLite keeps tables, types and indexes together in one file. PARQUET is at home in large analytical datasets; SQLITE is the usual choice for application data in a single portable file.

Column types are read from the file and nested columns stay nested. An encrypted Parquet file is refused, and so is one too large to hold in a browser tab (about 40 million cells). Each column gets one type chosen from all of its values: a column is numeric only if every non-empty cell is a number, and anything mixed, or a value such as a ZIP code with a leading zero, stays text. Each sheet becomes a table named after it, and a table may have at most 2,000 columns.

PARQUET vs SQLITE

PARQUET

Apache Parquet table

Parquet stores a table column by column, with the type of every column recorded in the file and each column compressed on its own. That makes it small and quick to scan for analysis, which is why data lakes and warehouses use it. It cannot be read in a text editor or a spreadsheet.

Opens in pandas, Spark, DuckDB, BigQuery, Snowflake and other analytics tools; not Excel

SQLITE

SQLite database

SQLite is a complete SQL database in a single file, with no server to run. It is in the public domain and probably the most widely deployed database in the world: phones, browsers and countless apps keep their data in SQLite files. The extension varies: .sqlite, .sqlite3 and .db are all used.

Questions

Are my datasets uploaded anywhere?

No. The PARQUET to SQLITE conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

Is anything lost when converting PARQUET to SQLITE?

The values are kept. Anything SQLITE has no way to express, such as formatting, formulas or nesting, is simplified or left out.

Can I convert several PARQUET files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.

How do I convert PARQUET to SQLITE on Windows, Mac, iPhone or Android?

The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the PARQUET file, press Convert and save the SQLITE. There is nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

Yes. Binary data files up to 150 MB are accepted; a larger file is refused with a message. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
