Convert ODS to CSV

OpenDocument Spreadsheet (ODS) is an open standard file format for spreadsheets. It's part of the OpenDocument Format (ODF) family, developed by the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS). Many office suites support it, including LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice.

ODS files can have multiple sheets, and each sheet can contain multiple rows and columns of data. The format supports a wide range of features including formulas, styles, charts, and macros.

One of the main advantages of ODS is its open nature, which ensures long-term accessibility and interoperability. It uses a compressed XML format, making it both efficient in storage and easy to process programmatically.

Comma-separated values (CSV) is a simple and popular format for storing tabular data. It's easy to read and create, making it a go-to choice for many.

Row delimiter

The row delimiter separates each row in the CSV data. It's usually a new line character (LF) or a carriage return plus a new line character (CRLF).

We'll automatically detect and parse the rows correctly, so you don't need to worry about it.

Value separator

The value separator splits each value within a row.

For CSV files, it's typically a comma, but it can vary depending on the software used to create the file. We support these separators:

• Comma ,
• Tab \t
• Pipe |
• Hash #
• Semicolon ;

Character encoding

The character encoding of your CSV file might differ based on the software you used to create it.

If you're not sure about the character encoding, don't worry. We'll try to guess it automatically if it's not specified.
