What is an Excel to CSV Converter?

An Excel to CSV converter transforms Microsoft Excel spreadsheet files (.xlsx or .xls) into Comma-Separated Values (CSV) format. CSV is a universal plain-text format that can be read by virtually any data processing tool, database, or programming language.

This is essential when you need to export Excel data for web applications, import spreadsheets into databases, share data with tools that don't support Excel format, or process spreadsheet data using scripts and automation pipelines.

Multi-sheet support

Convert any worksheet from a multi-sheet workbook independently.

Client-side processing

Your data never leaves your browser. No uploads, no servers.

Custom delimiters

Frequently Asked Questions

What Excel formats are supported?

We support both .xlsx (modern Excel format, Office 2007+) and .xls (legacy Excel format, Excel 97-2003). The tool automatically detects the format.

Can I convert a specific sheet from a workbook?

Yes. After uploading an Excel file with multiple sheets, a worksheet selector will appear in the settings sidebar. Simply choose the sheet you want to convert.

Is my data uploaded to a server?

No. All conversion happens entirely in your browser using the SheetJS library. Your file is never uploaded to any server. You can verify this by disconnecting from the internet and using the tool offline.

What delimiter options are available?

You can choose from comma (standard CSV), semicolon (common in European locales), tab (TSV format), or pipe (ideal for Markdown tables). Each option is optimized for different use cases.
