Excel to CSV converter

Drop a workbook and download a CSV of its first sheet. Dates are written as YYYY-MM-DD, zero-padded numbers keep their leading zeros, and cells with formulas use the stored calculated value rather than the formula text.

The file is read locally with SheetJS in a Web Worker, so the conversion is private and the page stays responsive on large sheets.

Frequently asked questions

Can I pick a different sheet?
This release reads the first sheet only and tells you the sheet name if there is more than one.
Do leading zeros survive?
Yes. Cells formatted as text with leading zeros, such as postal codes, keep them.
Are percentage and currency cells converted?
They use the underlying number without the display formatting symbols.
Is the workbook uploaded?
No. Everything runs in your browser.

Private by design
