About Excel to CSV
Excel to CSV takes an Excel spreadsheet (.xlsx or .xls) and saves it as a plain CSV file. It is useful when another program — a database import, an email tool, an accounting system — asks for a CSV and will not accept a native Excel file.
The whole conversion happens in your browser, so the spreadsheet is read on your own device and nothing is uploaded to a server. It is free, has no sign-up, and puts no limit on the number of files.
Frequently asked questions
- Is the Excel to CSV converter free?
- Yes. There is no charge, no account, and no sign-up. You can convert as many spreadsheets as you like.
- Is my spreadsheet uploaded to a server?
- No. Your Excel file is read and converted inside your browser, on your own computer. The data never leaves your device.
- How do I convert Excel to CSV?
- Select your .xlsx or .xls file, let the tool read it, and download the CSV. There is nothing to install and no setup.
- My workbook has several sheets — what happens?
- A CSV file can only hold a single table, so the tool converts one worksheet into the CSV rather than the whole workbook. If you need several tabs, convert them one at a time.
- Will my formulas and formatting carry over?
- No. CSV is a plain-text list of values with no styling, so formulas come through as their calculated results. Colors, fonts, and merged cells are dropped, because the format cannot store them.
