How to convert Excel to CSV

  1. Upload your Excel file (.xlsx or .xls).
  2. Choose XLSX → CSV and name the sheet to export (or leave blank for the first one).
  3. Download the result and compare it with your original before sharing.

A practical starting point

Select the required sheet. Inspect the CSV in a text editor as well as a spreadsheet app, checking separators and the first and last records.

Frequently asked questions

What are the limits of XLSX to CSV?

CSV cannot preserve multiple sheets, styling or charts. Formula results depend on available calculated values; CSV is not a lossless workbook backup.

How should I check the XLSX to CSV result?

Confirm the receiving system's delimiter and encoding requirements. Keep the XLSX original and verify dates and identifiers before importing.
