ODS to CSV Converter
Convert ODS files to CSV free in your browser — no signup, no install, and the file is never uploaded to a server. CSV opens almost anywhere, so the result works where ODS did not.
What changes in this conversion
- CSV keeps cell values only — formulas, cell formatting, charts and multiple sheets are not preserved.
- CSV opens almost everywhere, so the converted file will work on devices and programs that refused the original ODS.
How to use
-
Add your ODS file
Drag the ODS file onto the drop area above, or click it to pick a file from your device. You can add several files at once.
-
Confirm CSV as the output
CSV is already selected as the output format on this page. Only the options this format actually supports show up, such as a page range or sheet selection.
-
Run the conversion
Press the convert button. Processing happens on your own device, so the time depends on your computer rather than a server queue.
-
Download the CSV file
When it finishes, download the CSV file. Converting multiple files gives you the option to download them together as a ZIP.
About these formats
The simplest tabular format: one row per line, columns separated by commas. Every program and language can read it, making it the lingua franca of data exchange.
Frequently asked questions
Is converting ODS to CSV really free?
Yes. ODS to CSV conversion is completely free with no signup, no watermark, and no daily limit on the free plan for ordinary use.
Are my ODS files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so the ODS file never leaves your device. That is also why it works without an internet connection once the page has loaded.
Why does my CSV file lose the images and layout?
CSV is a plain text format — it stores characters only. Images, tables, fonts and page layout from the ODS file cannot be represented and are dropped.
Does the CSV file get bigger than the ODS?
It can go either way. Both formats are lossless, so nothing is thrown away — the size difference comes from how each one packs the same data.
Is there a file size limit for ODS to CSV conversion?
The free plan handles files up to 200MB. Because processing happens on your own device, very large files depend on your computer's memory rather than a server quota.
