CSV to Excel
Turn CSV files into Excel spreadsheets.
An XLSX workbook lets you sort, filter, format and add formulas, and it's what most people expect when you send them a spreadsheet.
Almost any file
Images, vector art, video, audio, documents, spreadsheets, slides, ebooks and archives: more than 400 conversions. Before anything runs, Filebender says what a conversion will lose and estimates the size of video, audio and many pictures; other files show their size once converted. It compresses PDFs, pictures and videos to the size you choose.
No ads, no watermarks
With a free account: 20 files a day, 2 of them videos, each up to 500 MB. No plan has ads, and nothing is stamped on your files. A pass is one payment that never renews, and one you haven't used can be refunded in full.
Private by default
Files are deleted an hour after converting, or at once when you ask, and photo location is removed unless you choose to keep it. Photos converted to JPG, PNG or WebP are done on your device when your browser can, so they never leave it. They still need your account and count towards your plan.
How to convert CSV to Excel
- Create a free account with Google or your email address, or sign in.
- Choose your CSV files: drop them on the box, pick them from your computer, open them from Google Drive, or paste a link.
- Pick the format each file should become. The gear button has size, quality and other settings.
- Press “Convert”, then download each file, or all of them in one ZIP.
How the CSV is read
Filebender reads the file as UTF-8 text, with commas between fields and double quotes around fields that contain commas or line breaks. Each line becomes a row, starting from the first, and everything goes on one sheet.
Numbers and codes
Plain numbers become real numbers you can add up and sort. Check columns of codes that start with a zero, such as phone numbers and account numbers, because read as numbers they can lose the zero.
Separators and big files
A CSV that uses semicolons between fields, as some apps save them, comes out with everything in the first column: save it with commas, then convert it again. TSV files, separated by tabs, convert here too.
A sheet holds at most 1,048,576 rows, so a CSV longer than that won't fit on one sheet; split it first.

Questions
Can I convert back to CSV?
Yes, with Excel to CSV. Any formulas you've added are saved as their results.
Can several CSVs become sheets of one workbook?
No. Each CSV becomes its own workbook with one sheet.
Does the workbook have any formatting?
Only what the values need. Column widths, bold headings and filters are yours to add once it's open.
What happens to my header row?
It becomes the first row of the sheet, as it is. Freeze it or turn it into a filter row in your spreadsheet app once the workbook is open.
Is Filebender free?
Yes, with a free account: 20 files every day (up to 2 of them videos), each up to 500 MB, with no watermark and no ads. Make the account with Google or your email address. Files converted on your device count the same way as the rest. If you need more, a Day, Week or Month Pass is one payment that never renews; see the Pricing page.
What happens to my files?
It depends on the file. Pictures your browser can convert itself, and everything you do with the PDF tools, from merging and splitting PDFs to putting photos into one, are handled on your device and never leave it, unless you choose to send a file to Filebender's servers. They still need your account: Filebender receives only their type and size, to count them against your plan like any other file. Everything else is converted on Filebender's servers on Google Cloud and deleted an hour after the conversion finishes, or straight away when you press “Delete files now”. Nobody looks at your files, and they're never used for anything else.
Is there a size limit?
With a free account, each file can be up to 500 MB (about 4 minutes of HD phone video), and a batch can have up to 20 files. Any pass takes files up to 2 GB (about 15 minutes of HD video).
