Questions
Is this Excel to CSV converter free?
Yes. Converting here is free, needs no account, and adds no watermark. Sign in only if you want your files kept in a library you can come back to, or want to convert a batch at once.
What happens to my formatting when I convert Excel to CSV?
CSV keeps the cell values. What it cannot carry over is formulas, formatting, multiple sheets and charts. Coming from Excel, the content that matters — cells, sheets, numbers and text — is what the converter works from.
What happens to my file after it is converted?
It is converted on our server and handed straight back to you in the response. Nothing is stored, and nothing is kept after the download unless you are signed in and chose to save it to your library.
How big a Excel file can I convert?
Up to 10 MB here without an account. A free account raises that to 100 MB and lets you convert many files in one run.
What will open the CSV file I get?
Excel, Numbers, Google Sheets, or any script.
Do I need Microsoft Office to convert Excel to CSV?
No. The conversion runs on our server, so you need nothing installed — just a browser.
