Waiting for a file.

Spreadsheet conversion runs locally. CSV and TSV export the first worksheet and neutralize formula-like text.

Your file is processed on your device and is not uploaded to our servers.

When to use it

Use TSV → XLS to move tabular data into a program that accepts XLS. Check delimiters and headers: they determine how values are split into columns.

What changes in the result?

Ordinary sheets and values are kept between XLS, XLSX and ODS. Simple tabular sources create one sheet. Formulas, macros, active links, comments and advanced objects are not retained; complex formatting may change.

If conversion does not work

Compare a few output rows with the original before using the data. Encrypted files, incompatible structures or oversized workbooks may be rejected. A low-memory phone may need a smaller file.
