How to convert ODS to CSV

  1. Add your ODS files

    Drag one or more ODS files onto the dashed area, or tap it to pick them from your device.

  2. Choose CSV and the options

    CSV is already selected; for CSV you can choose the separator.

  3. Convert and download

    Press “Convert to CSV”. When it’s done, download the files one by one or all together in a ZIP archive.

Good to know. If your Excel uses the comma as decimal separator (as in Italian, Spanish or French), choose the semicolon as separator in the options.

Questions about ODS and CSV

What happens to multiple sheets?

Formats with several sheets (XLSX, ODS, HTML, PDF) keep them all; CSV and TSV hold only one: in the options you can choose to convert the first sheet or create one file per sheet.

Are my ODS files uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion from ODS to CSV happens entirely in your browser, using your device’s computing power. Files aren’t sent or stored anywhere: when you close the page they’re gone from memory too.

How many files can I convert at once?

Up to 100 files at a time. There’s no fixed size limit: it depends on your device’s memory. On smartphones it’s best to work in smaller batches with heavy files such as videos.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes, with up-to-date Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Samsung Internet. On phones, converted files end up in the Downloads folder or the Files app.

Do I need an internet connection?

Only to open the page (and, the first time, to download the components needed for that type of file). After that the conversion keeps working even if the connection drops.
