CSV and ODS: what actually changes

CSV is comma-separated plain text — one table, no types, readable by everything. ODS is OpenDocument Spreadsheet, LibreOffice Calc's native workbook format.

The records get somewhere structured to live: real sheets, typed cells, a proper header row and sensible column widths instead of a flat text file that Excel has to guess at. Delimiter and character encoding are detected on the way in, which quietly fixes the two things that usually go wrong. The ODS you get back keeps sheets, formulas and styles, and gives up some Excel-only functions on round trips.

How it goes3 steps

  1. Add your CSV files
    Drop them onto the box above or click Select File. Add as many .csv files as you like — the whole batch converts in one go, and duplicates are ignored.
  2. Confirm ODS as the output
    ODS is already selected as the target format on this page. Check the delimiter and encoding options if your data is unusual.
  3. Download your ODS
    Hit Convert and grab the finished ODS files individually or as a single ZIP. Everything is deleted from the server once you have them.
