Excel (XLSX) to CSV Converter

Get CSV files from an Excel workbook without opening Excel — one CSV per sheet, with the delimiter and encoding your import tool expects.

Runs in your browser

How to use

  1. Drop an .xlsx file.
  2. Choose the delimiter and encoding.
  3. Download the CSV for each sheet.

How it works

The workbook is read in your browser with the read-excel-file library. Cell values (not formulas) are exported; dates are written in ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD). UTF-8 with BOM makes Excel re-open the CSV with the right encoding; plain UTF-8 is best for code and databases.

The legacy binary .xls format isn't supported — save it as .xlsx first.

Examples

Import into a web shop
Export the “Products” sheet as UTF-8 CSV for an e-commerce import.

Frequently asked questions

Are formulas exported?

Only their calculated values.

Why UTF-8 with BOM?

The invisible BOM marker tells Excel the file is UTF-8, so accents display correctly.
