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 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.
