ODS to CSV Converter
Extract data from your OpenOffice spreadsheets into standard CSV text. Perfect for importing spreadsheet data into databases or web apps.
Why Convert ODS to CSV?
OpenDocument Spreadsheet (ODS) is a complex file format ideal for formulas and formatting, but sometimes you just need the raw data. CSV (Comma Separated Values) is the universal language of data exchange. Converting ODS to CSV strips away the formatting and formulas, leaving you with clean, machine-readable text.
This conversion is essential for developers, data analysts, and researchers who need to move data from LibreOffice Calc into SQL databases, Python scripts, or legacy systems that don't support modern spreadsheet files.

- The tool extracts the active sheet's data.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which sheet is converted?
By default, the converter exports the first (active) sheet of the workbook. If you need multiple sheets, please save them as separate ODS files first.
What happens to formulas?
Formulas are calculated, and their resulting values are saved in the CSV file. The formula logic itself is not preserved in CSV.
Are special characters handled?
Yes, we use UTF-8 encoding for the CSV output, ensuring that international characters, symbols, and emojis are preserved correctly.
Is formatting kept?
No, CSV is a plain text format. All cell colors, borders, and font styles are removed, leaving only the data values.
