Excel to CSV, any sheet.

Drop an Excel workbook (XLSX, XLS or ODS), pick the sheet if there is more than one, check the preview, and save it as CSV. Choose commas, semicolons for European Excel, or tabs, and keep the byte order mark so accents and other alphabets open correctly in Excel. Dates and numbers come out as they look in the sheet. Nothing is uploaded.

Questions

Good to know.

How do I convert Excel to CSV?

Drop the file, pick the sheet, and press Save the CSV.

Can I convert every sheet?

One at a time: pick each sheet and save.

Why semicolons?

Excel in many European countries expects semicolons, because the comma is the decimal mark there.

What is the BOM option?

A hidden mark at the start that tells Excel the file is UTF-8, so accented letters show correctly.

Is my file uploaded?

No.
