Convert ODS to CSV
Turn an OpenDocument Spreadsheet (.ods) file into a plain CSV file any other tool can import.
How it works
- Drag and drop your OpenDocument Spreadsheet (.ods) file below.
- Click Convert to download as a CSV file.
What this tool does to your file
The OpenDocument Spreadsheet is written out as comma-separated values, ready to import into anything. One sheet becomes one CSV, because the format has no way to hold more than one. Formulas are written as their last calculated result rather than as formulas. Rows are padded to the width of the widest row so that column positions stay consistent down the file — CSV consumers index by position, and a ragged file shifts values into the wrong column for any row that ended early. Cell formatting, colours, merged cells and column widths are all dropped: CSV holds values and nothing else. An .ods is a compressed container, so the ceiling that applies is how far it expands while being read, capped at 200 MB, rather than its size on disk.
What happens to your files
- No account needed — Every tool works as a guest. Signing in raises the limits and keeps your files together, but nothing asks you to register before you get a result.
- It runs in your browser — There is nothing to install and nothing to keep up to date. Files travel to our servers over an encrypted connection, and come back the same way.
- Your files stay yours — Files and results stay in your account until you delete them. Files from a guest session that is never linked to an account are removed automatically after a period of inactivity.
- Size limits, stated up front — Up to 10 MB per file as a guest, and up to 25 MB signed in. You see the limit before you upload, not after.
