Export a sheet to universal CSV
Excel to CSV exports a chosen sheet to a plain comma-separated file, the format almost every database, analytics tool, and import wizard accepts. Pick which sheet to export when your workbook has several. CSV keeps only values (no formulas, styling, or multiple sheets), which is exactly what most imports want.

Is the XLSX to CSV tool private?
Yes. Your file is uploaded over encrypted HTTPS, processed, handed back, and then deleted — the upload goes the moment the XLSX to CSV operation finishes and the result the instant you download it, with an hourly sweeper as a backstop. Unlike closed tools that just claim they don't keep your files, Forge Files's code is fully open source, so you can verify exactly how the XLSX to CSV tool handles your data — or self-host it. No account, no watermark, no upsell. See our privacy details for the full picture.
