Convert ODS to CSV

LibreOffice's .ods format is an open standard, but half the tools that ask for spreadsheet data still want CSV. This converter parses .ods locally and writes one clean CSV per sheet.

Delimiter choice (comma, semicolon, tab) matters for ODS users especially — European locales often expect semicolons — so it's a first-class option rather than buried in settings.

This is Excel to CSV preconfigured for this task — open the full tool for every option.

How it works

  1. Select a workbook; sheets are listed with row/column counts.

  2. Pick sheets and a delimiter (comma, semicolon, or tab).

  3. Convert — each selected sheet is serialized to CSV locally.

  4. Download one CSV or a ZIP of all selected sheets.

What the tool does

  • Per-sheet conversion with visible row/column counts
  • Comma, semicolon, and tab delimiters
  • UTF-8 output with proper quoting/escaping
  • ZIP download for multi-sheet workbooks

How the result is verified

Each CSV is reparsed locally and its row count compared with the source sheet's used range before download.

Frequently asked questions

Why would I pick a semicolon delimiter?

In many European locales, Excel expects semicolon-separated files because the comma is the decimal separator. If your destination misreads the CSV as one giant column, switch delimiters.

Is my spreadsheet parsed on a server?

No — the ODS package is unzipped and parsed by a spreadsheet engine running in your browser tab. Nothing is transmitted.
