How do I convert Excel to CSV for free?+
Upload your .xlsx to FixTheFile and select Convert to CSV.
Which sheet gets converted?+
The first (active) sheet in the workbook.
Are formulas included?+
Calculated values are exported, not the formulas themselves.
Does formatting carry over?+
No — CSV is plain text, so colors, fonts, and merged cells are not preserved.
