CSV to Excel Converterv1.0.0
Converts CSV, TSV, or .txt input to Excel XLSX entirely in the browser, with auto-detected delimiter or a manual choice (comma, tab, semicolon, pipe). Optional toggles trim whitespace, mark the first row as a bold header, and auto-detect numbers including fractions (3/4) and mixed numbers (5 1/2) into native Excel cells. Sheet name and output filename are configurable, and a preview shows the first 100 parsed rows before XLSX download.
Documentation
Follow these steps to convert any CSV dataset into a formatted Excel XLSX spreadsheet directly in the browser. The converter parses your data, optionally detects numbers, applies header formatting, and produces a downloadable .xlsx file without uploading anything to a server.
- Upload a CSV file using the Upload CSV File input, or paste your CSV content directly into the Paste CSV Data text area. Accepted file extensions are .csv, .tsv, and .txt.
- Open the Settings panel to customize conversion options. Select the appropriate Delimiter if auto-detection does not produce the expected result. Common delimiters include commas, tabs, semicolons, and pipes.
- Enter a custom Sheet Name for the Excel worksheet. The default name is "Sheet1" and must not exceed 31 characters, per Excel limitations.
- Set the Output Filename to control what the downloaded file will be named. Do not include the .xlsx extension since it is added automatically.
- Check First row is header if the first row of your CSV data contains column names rather than data values. Enabling this option formats the header row with bold styling in the output spreadsheet.
- Enable Trim whitespace from cells to remove leading and trailing spaces from every cell value during conversion.
- Enable Auto-detect and convert numbers to recognize numeric values, including fractions like 3/4, mixed numbers like 5 1/2, decimals, and scientific notation such as 1.5e3, and convert them to actual Excel number cells rather than storing them as text.
- Click Convert to Excel to parse the CSV data and generate the spreadsheet. A preview table appears showing the first 100 rows of parsed data.
- Review the preview and click Download Excel File to save the XLSX file to your device.
- Click Reset to clear all inputs, settings, and previews and return the tool to its default state.
Auto-detect scans the first five lines outside of quoted strings to pick the most frequent of comma, tab, semicolon, or pipe as the delimiter. Quoted fields handle escaped double quotes and preserve embedded delimiters or newlines. When number detection is enabled, the parser recognizes integers, decimals, scientific notation, fractions like 3/4, and mixed numbers like 5 1/2, converting them to native Excel cells so formulas and pivot tables work immediately. Headers are bold when First row is header is enabled, and column widths size automatically up to 50 characters.
