How it works

Is XLS to CSV conversion free?

Yes. AnyConv365 lets you convert XLS to CSV online for free with no account required.

Will my file quality be preserved?

We aim for the best practical fidelity for each pair. Preview the download before sharing when quality is critical.

Do you store my files?

Server-side source files are deleted immediately after a successful conversion. If conversion fails, the source file is retained for up to one hour for error diagnosis and then deleted automatically.

Do CSV files keep Excel formulas?

No. CSV stores values only. Keep an XLSX/ODS copy when calculations still matter.

Which sheet exports from .xls?

CSV is one table. Export usually uses the first sheet — split multi-sheet workbooks if needed.

Where can I learn more about this conversion?
