ODS and CSV: what actually changes

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

Only cell values cross over: formulas are replaced by whatever they currently evaluate to, and formatting, charts and sheet structure are left behind. The CSV you get back keeps the header row and every value as text, and gives up formulas, formatting, multiple sheets and column types. That is exactly the trade you want when something downstream — an import, a pipeline, a script — needs plain records.

How it goes3 steps

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