CSV to FTS conversion is the process of transforming tabular data stored in a comma-separated values (CSV) text file into the FTS (.fts) document format used by certain full-text/feature table systems or proprietary tools. This conversion maps CSV rows and columns into the FTS structure, preserving data types and field metadata so the resulting FTS file can be indexed, searched, or imported by applications that require the FTS format.

CSV files typically have the MIME type text/csv and are encoded in UTF-8 or ASCII, used broadly in spreadsheets and data import/export. FTS files vary by application but generally serve as full-text search indexes, often compressed or encoded with proprietary codecs to optimize query speed and storage efficiency.
The FTS (.FTS) format is commonly used for document. Understanding its characteristics can be helpful when converting to or from other formats like CSV.
While specific technical details aren't available here, FTS files generally serve the purpose of storing document effectively within their domain.
Our Online CSV to FTS Converter allows you to effortlessly convert your CSV files into FTS format without any software installation. Designed for users who need a fast and reliable solution, this converter supports secure and accurate file transformation directly from your browser.
CSV files are simple comma-separated values primarily used for tabular data storage and exchange. FTS files are specialized formats optimized for full-text search indexing and faster data retrieval. While CSV focuses on data portability, FTS enhances searchability and performance in database systems.
Keep each CSV file under 250 MB for fast web conversions; split larger datasets into chunks for better performance and reliability.
Preserve quality by ensuring correct character encoding (use UTF-8) and consistent column headers so types map correctly into the FTS schema.
For batch conversions, compress multiple CSVs into a single archive or use a batch API to process files sequentially and retain consistent field mappings.
Be aware FTS format may enforce schema or index constraints—complex nested structures or mixed-type columns may require pre-cleaning or explicit type declarations.
