Values only, comma-separated, UTF-8 — what every importer wants.

How to convert Excel to CSV

  1. Drop the file.
  2. Nothing to choose.
  3. Press Convert and download.

What happens to your file

LibreOffice Calc opens the workbook on Fylane’s servers and writes the first sheet as CSV: comma separators, double-quoted text, UTF-8, values as the cells display them (formulas give their results). Other sheets, formatting and charts are not part of CSV and are left behind.

Questions

I need a different sheet or a semicolon?

Move the sheet first in Excel, or save that sheet alone. A sheet picker and a delimiter choice are on the list; a semicolon file can be made from this one in any editor.

Do it once, not on every form

Fixing a file here means downloading it and going back to the form. The Fylane extension does this work inside the form instead, on the file you already have.

And it keeps the result. The next application that asks for a résumé, a cover letter and a photo fills all three from one tap, each one refitted to what that site accepts.

Your files stay in the browser, encrypted, on your machine. Nothing is uploaded to keep them and nothing is sent anywhere to fill a form.

Filmed from the extension: three upload fields on a job application, filled from one tap.

Add to Chrome — freeWhat it does

Do this in code

curl -X POST https://api.fylane.dev/v1/jobs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FYLANE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "file_id": "<file id>",
    "operation": "convert",
    "options": {
      "to": "csv"
    }
  }'

The same operation, convert — Documents into another document format: Office, text and HTML to PDF by default, or by `to` into docx, odt, rtf, txt, html, xlsx, ods, csv, pptx, odp, md or epub (Markdown and EPUB through pandoc). Images to WebP. Upload first with the quickstart; every option is on the operations page. 500 free credits a month, then $5 per thousand.
