About the ODS to CSV Converter
Convert ODS to CSV online for free, with no account and no watermark. Many tools and portals only accept Excel or CSV files, so switching to CSV is the quickest way to get a CSV ready to import anywhere for importing data into databases, CRMs, Tally, mailing tools and Python or R.
Spreadsheets are read and written with SheetJS, the open-source spreadsheet engine used by thousands of data apps, so every sheet, row and value is handled accurately. Because everything happens on your own device, your spreadsheets are never uploaded, stored or seen by anyone else, which makes it safe for customer lists, salary sheets, GST data and API exports.
What to expect: every sheet in the workbook is converted; formulas are exported as their calculated values, while text such as PIN codes and phone numbers with leading zeros stays intact.
How to use the ODS to CSV Converter
- Click "Choose files" or drag your ODS spreadsheets onto the box. You can add several at once.
- Choose whether to convert all sheets or only the first one.
- Press "Convert to CSV". The conversion runs on your device and shows its progress.
- Download each CSV file, or use "Download all (ZIP)" when you converted several.
- Open the result in Excel or Google Sheets to check it; your original ODS is never changed.
Tips & benchmarks
- CSV holds one table without formatting; with several sheets you get one CSV per sheet, bundled in a ZIP.
- To open the file in Excel with Hindi or ₹ characters intact, use Data → From Text/CSV and choose UTF-8; the file includes a UTF-8 marker for this.
- Keep the file name simple (letters, numbers and hyphens) if you plan to upload the CSV to a website or government portal.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert ODS to CSV?
Click "Choose files", select your ODS spreadsheets, adjust the options if you want, and press "Convert to CSV". The CSV downloads immediately; with several files you can download everything as one ZIP.
Is this ODS to CSV converter free and safe?
Yes. It is completely free, with no sign-up, no daily limit and no watermark. The conversion runs inside your browser, so your spreadsheets never leave your phone or computer and nothing is stored on News Appite's servers.
Are formulas, formatting and all sheets kept?
Every sheet is converted (or only the first, if you choose). Formulas are exported as their current values, and cell colours and fonts are not carried over because formats such as CSV, JSON and SQL cannot store them.
Can I convert several ODS files at once?
Yes. Add as many ODS files as you like; they are converted one after another and you can download them individually or together as a ZIP.
Does it work on iPhone, Android and Mac?
Yes. The converter works in any modern browser, including Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox, on Android, iPhone, iPad, Windows, macOS and Linux. No app is needed.
What is the difference between ODS and CSV?
ODS (OpenDocument Spreadsheet) is a open-standard spreadsheet best suited to LibreOffice Calc users and open, vendor-neutral data archiving. CSV (Comma-Separated Values) is a plain-text table best suited to importing data into databases, CRMs, Tally, mailing tools and Python or R.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no upload limit, because nothing is uploaded. The practical limit is your device's memory: files of a few hundred megabytes work on most computers, and phones handle smaller files comfortably.
How do I convert ODS to CSV in Excel?
In Excel choose File → Save As and pick the format. This converter does it without Excel installed.
How do I convert ODS to CSV in Python?

What is a ODS file?
ODS is the OpenDocument spreadsheet format used by LibreOffice Calc. Like XLSX it supports multiple sheets and formulas, but it is an open ISO standard favoured by open-source users and many public bodies.
What is a CSV file?
CSV stores a single table as plain text, one row per line with values separated by commas. Every spreadsheet, database, CRM and programming language can import it, which makes it the universal format for moving data.
