Making sense of the export
What to do with your inkFrog CSV export
inkFrog told you to download a CSV before it shut down. So you did — and now you're staring at a file that's over 142 MB, won't open in a spreadsheet, and doesn't contain your photos. Here's what it actually is and how to make it useful.
What's actually in the file
Your listings, as rows: titles, prices, descriptions, SKUs, item specifics — plus links to your images on inkFrog's servers. The pictures themselves aren't in the file, just URLs pointing back at hosting that's shutting down.
Why it won't open
It's too big for Excel or Google Sheets to load, and even when it does open, the columns aren't in a format eBay or another tool can import. It's a database dump, not a usable catalog.
Make it useful in one step
Upload the export to Newpad. We parse the whole thing, follow every image link to rescue your photos before they die, and hand you back a catalog you can actually browse and search — every listing with its photos attached. No spreadsheet gymnastics required.
Frequently asked
How do I open the inkFrog CSV?+
Most spreadsheets choke on it because of its size. Rather than fight it, upload it to Newpad — it reads the whole export for you and turns it into a searchable catalog.
Does the inkFrog export include my photos?+
No. The CSV only contains links to images hosted on inkFrog's servers, not the image files themselves. That's why rescuing the photos before the links die is the urgent part.
What can I do with the export besides open it?+
Use it to rescue your data. Newpad reads it, saves every linked photo, and rebuilds your catalog so your listings are searchable and your images are safely re-hosted.
