Excel to CSV Converter

Turn an .xlsx workbook into CSV in your browser: pick the sheet, values preserved, RFC 4180 quoting. Nothing is uploaded.

Choose a workbook

Choose a workbook; its sheets appear here.

Formulas export as cached values; dates become ISO 8601. Nothing is uploaded.

What you get

An RFC 4180 CSV of the selected sheet: one line per row, quoted cells where commas or quotes appear, dates as ISO 8601.

One sheet per export — the format carries a single table. Other sheets need one run each.

Your file is never sent to a server. It is read and processed by your own browser, and the results are not stored.

How to use it

  1. Choose an .xlsx workbook.
  2. Pick the sheet to export.
  3. Convert and download the .csv.

Limits worth knowing

  • One sheet per export; route other sheets through repeated runs.
  • Dates are written ISO 8601; number formats are not preserved.
  • Formulas are exported as cached values, not recalculated.
  • Up to 25 MB and 20,000 rows per sheet.

Cells, quotes and commas

Every cell is emitted per RFC 4180: fields containing commas or quotes are quoted, quotes are doubled, embedded newlines survive. Values that look like dates become ISO strings; everything else is a number or literal string, untouched.

If Excel shows a formatted date like “10 Nov 2026”, that is a display string — the underlying value this tool exports is whatever the cell actually holds, usually an ISO timestamp.

What CSV does not carry

Sheet names, styles, merges, charts and formulas. A CSV is the table, nothing else — which is exactly what every downstream tool expects.

Frequently asked questions

Does Excel to CSV Converter upload my files to any server?

No. Excel to CSV Converter runs in your browser, and the file is read there rather than sent to a server for processing. Our host still sees ordinary page-request metadata, which is described on the privacy page.

Is Excel to CSV Converter free to use?

Yes, Excel to CSV Converter is free, with no paid tier, no account, and no watermark added to your output. The limits are technical rather than commercial: file size, page count and supported formats are listed on this page.

What file formats and sizes are supported?

Excel to CSV Converter supports .xlsx, .xls files up to 25MB directly in your browser.

Can I pick which sheet?

Yes — every sheet in the workbook is listed. Exports convert one sheet at a time; CSV has exactly one table anyway.

What happens to formulas?

The values Excel cached in the file are exported — exactly what you see. Formulas are not evaluated.

How are dates handled?

Dates are exported ISO 8601 (YYYY-MM-DD) so they survive any downstream import without locale guessing.

Is my file uploaded?

No. Parsing and export happen in this tab; nothing leaves your device.
