❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What information is lost when converting Excel to CSV?

CSV format only stores plain text data. The following Excel elements are lost: formatting (fonts, colors, borders), formulas (only computed values remain), charts, images, data validation, conditional formatting, merged cells (only top-left value kept), macros, and VBA code. Only convert plain data tables to CSV.

How to handle multiple sheets in Excel?

This tool supports selecting specific sheets for conversion. For multiple sheets, convert them one by one with individual downloads. The 'All Sheets' option packages all sheets into a ZIP file for download.

How to fix garbled text after Excel to CSV conversion?

Garbled text is usually caused by encoding mismatch. This tool offers encoding options: UTF-8 (recommended, best compatibility) and GBK (for Chinese Windows systems). If CSV opens garbled in Excel, try re-converting with GBK encoding, or use Excel's 'Data β†’ From Text/CSV' import and manually select UTF-8 encoding.

What library does this tool use for Excel processing?

This tool uses SheetJS (xlsx.js) for Excel file parsing. SheetJS is a powerful pure-JavaScript spreadsheet library supporting XLSX, XLS, ODS, and other formats. All processing happens locally in your browser β€” files never reach any server.

What is the maximum Excel file size supported?

Recommended file size is under 20MB. Since processing happens entirely in the browser, file size is limited by browser memory. For very large files with many formulas, charts, or images, consider removing unnecessary content before conversion, or use desktop software.
