Convert Excel to CSV
Convert an Excel .xlsx sheet to a CSV file in your browser. Pick the sheet, choose the separator, and add a UTF-8 BOM for Excel. Free, no upload.
When to use it
CSV is the format most databases, import screens and data tools expect. Use this to turn a sheet from an Excel workbook into a clean CSV file.
Pick the sheet you need, choose the separator, and download. If your workbook has several sheets, convert them one at a time.
How it works
- Drop in your Excel (.xlsx) file.
- Pick the sheet and the separator you need.
- Download the CSV file.
Questions
Can I choose which sheet to convert?
Yes. After you add the file, all sheet names appear in a list. A CSV file holds one sheet, so convert each sheet you need in turn.
What happens to formulas and dates?
Formulas are exported as their last calculated value. Dates are written as year-month-day, with the time added only when the cell has one.
When should I tick the UTF-8 BOM option?
Tick it if the CSV contains accented or non-English characters and you plan to open it in Excel, which otherwise may show garbled text. Leave it off for databases and most programming tools.
Is my spreadsheet uploaded?
No. The file is read inside your browser and nothing is sent to a server.
