XLS to CSV Converter

About This Tool

The XLS to CSV Converter exports data from Excel workbooks to CSV format, enabling seamless ingestion into databases, data lakes, and analytics pipelines. It supports both single-file and batch conversions, with per-sheet CSV outputs when a workbook contains multiple sheets. Operational details include choosing a delimiter (comma, semicolon, tab) and encoding (UTF-8 or other common encodings). The tool preserves column order and row data while exporting values; formulas are exported as their cached values, not as computed results. Optional header handling lets users include or skip header rows. In batch mode, multiple CSV files can be produced per workbook and delivered as a ZIP archive for convenience. This approach reduces manual reformatting, avoids data loss from delimiter-conflicts, and improves compatibility with downstream systems. The tool is appropriate for data engineers preparing CSV inputs for ETL pipelines, analysts sharing datasets with teammates, and developers integrating Excel-derived data into applications that require CSV ingestion. Core value lies in reliability, reproducibility, and support for locale-aware CSV configurations, enabling consistent data extraction across teams and projects.
