How to convert CSV to XLSX

  1. Add your CSV spreadsheets

    Drop CSV files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.

  2. XLSX is already chosen

    Press Convert. There is nothing else to set. The work happens in this tab.

  3. Download

    Save the XLSX, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.

Why ToAny

  • Private by construction

    The CSV to XLSX converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your spreadsheets are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

  • No upload, no queue

    Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.

  • Free, without an account

    No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.

CSV to XLSX: what to expect

Double-clicking a CSV in Excel often goes wrong: long numbers turn into scientific notation, leading zeros vanish and accented characters break. An XLSX opens straight into columns and can then hold formatting, formulas and more than one sheet.

Numbers and true/false in the cells become real spreadsheet values rather than text, and the data lands on one sheet named Sheet1.

CSV vs XLSX

CSV

CSV spreadsheet

CSV is a table written as text: one row per line, values separated by commas. Every spreadsheet and database can import and export it, but it holds one sheet only and no formatting, formulas or data types.

XLSX

Excel workbook

XLSX is Excel's format since Office 2007. A workbook can hold many sheets with formulas, formatting and charts. Programs and scripts usually prefer the same data as CSV or JSON.

Questions

Are my spreadsheets uploaded anywhere?

No. The CSV to XLSX conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

Is anything lost when converting CSV to XLSX?

The values are kept. Anything XLSX has no way to express, such as formatting, formulas or nesting, is simplified or left out.

Can I convert several CSV files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.

How do I convert CSV to XLSX on Windows, Mac, iPhone or Android?

The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the CSV file, press Convert and save the XLSX. There is nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

Yes. Data files up to 300 MB are accepted; a larger file is refused with a message. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
