## Overview

Convert workbook sheets into a CSV package.

- One CSV per sheet
- `manifest.json` includes sheet name, row count, column names, delimiter, and encoding
- Returns a ZIP archive

## Inputs

- **Excel File** (file)
- **Selected Sheets (comma-separated)** (text): Sheet1,Sheet2
- **CSV Delimiter** (select)
- **Output Encoding** (select)
- **Include Header Row** (checkbox)
- **Skip Hidden Sheets** (checkbox)

## When to use

- When you need to extract multiple worksheets from a single Excel file into separate, machine-readable CSV files.
- When you require a standardized manifest file to track row counts, column names, and encoding for automated data pipelines.
- When you want to batch-process large workbooks while maintaining data integrity and specific character encoding requirements.

## How it works

- Upload your Excel file and select specific sheets if you wish to filter the output.
- Configure your preferred CSV delimiter, output encoding, and header preferences.
- Process the file to generate a ZIP archive containing individual CSVs for each sheet and a manifest.json file.
- Download the resulting ZIP package to access your structured data files.

## Use cases

- Preparing multi-tab financial reports for ingestion into database systems or data analysis platforms.
- Standardizing large Excel workbooks into clean, individual CSV files for version control or archival purposes.
- Automating data extraction workflows where a manifest file is required to verify data structure before processing.

## Frequently asked questions
