    About the formats

    ODS

    OpenDocument Spreadsheet

    ODS is the open-standard spreadsheet format of LibreOffice Calc and OpenOffice. Many public bodies prefer it because it is an open format.

    CSV

    Comma-Separated Values

    CSV stores each table row as a line of text, with cells separated by commas or semicolons. Nearly every program and database can import and export it.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is converting ODS to CSV free?

    Yes, completely free. No account, no daily limit, no watermark and no queue.

    Why does the CSV open as one column in Excel?

    Excel expects the separator of your regional settings, often a semicolon in Europe. Choose that separator before converting, and keep the BOM option on for accented characters.

    Does it work on a phone?

    Yes. It works on iPhone, iPad and Android, with no app to install.

    Is there a file size limit?

    There is no size limit set by us. Files of hundreds of MB convert too; very large files take longer and are handled more comfortably on a computer than on a phone.
