Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert EXCEL to CSV?
Upload your Excel file above and click convert. The CSV file is generated directly in your browser and downloaded automatically.
Is my data uploaded to a server?
No. Parsing and conversion happen locally in your browser using JavaScript - your spreadsheet data never leaves your device.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no hard limit, but very large files (100MB+) may be slow depending on your device memory.
Is this converter free?
Yes - completely free with no watermarks, sign-ups, or hidden limits.
How this conversion works
Conversions run inside your browser using WebAssembly. Files are decoded, transcoded, and re-encoded without being uploaded to any server. Open your browser DevTools Network tab while using this tool — no file upload request is made. The WASM build is cached on first visit so subsequent conversions start instantly.
What this tool can’t do
- Extremely large files are bounded by your device memory, not by server capacity. A very low-memory tablet may fail to load a 4K video where a desktop completes in seconds.
- WebAssembly codec support lags slightly behind native desktop tools. For obscure or experimental codecs, a native tool (like desktop FFmpeg) is still the right choice.
When to consult a professional
If you need batch-processing millions of files, a server-side pipeline will outperform per-user browser conversion. For DRM-protected media, a legitimate licensed reader is required.
