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 XLSX.

How to use

  1. Add your XLSX file

    Drag the XLSX file onto the drop area above, or click it to pick a file from your device. You can add several files at once.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

Frequently asked questions

Is converting XLSX to CSV really free?

Yes. XLSX to CSV conversion is completely free with no signup, no watermark, and no daily limit on the free plan for ordinary use.

Are my XLSX files uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so the XLSX 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 XLSX file cannot be represented and are dropped.

Does the CSV file get bigger than the XLSX?

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 XLSX 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.
