Excel to CSV

Save in the encoding your target system expects — online stores, mailing tools and accounting software often require CSV.

Which encoding should I choose?

EncodingWhen
UTF-8 with BOMFiles you'll reopen in Excel and most modern services. The BOM (3 bytes at the start) tells Excel the file is UTF-8, so accented and non-Latin characters display correctly.
UTF-8 without BOMWeb development, data analysis (Python, R), Google Sheets imports, and tools that show a stray character in the first column name when a BOM is present.
EUC-KROnly for older Korean software that requires it.

If the upload instructions say “UTF-8”, pick that. If you're unsure, try UTF-8 with BOM first.

Other options

A CSV stores values only: formulas become their results, and formatting, colors and merged cells are dropped. Files never leave your device.

Frequently asked questions

Are leading zeros kept?

Yes, inside the CSV. But Excel may drop them when you reopen the CSV — use CSV to Excel for that.

My workbook has several sheets.

A CSV holds one sheet, so each sheet becomes its own file. Click “All sheets as ZIP”.

Does it handle big files?

Hundreds of thousands of rows work on a computer; phones may slow down for lack of memory.
