Why bulkconvert vs. Smallpdf, ILovePDF, Convertio
The big incumbents lock the easy stuff (no watermark, no signup) behind their paid tier and process files in regions you may not want. We don't.

Frequently asked questions
- Upload your XLSX above, CSV is auto-selected as the target, click Convert. The first 3 XLSX to CSV conversions per day are free with no account. The download URL is valid for 24 hours, then the file is deleted from our servers.
- Yes. The free tier covers 3 conversions per day with no signup, no email, no watermark — and that same free quota works against the HTTP API too, so you can grab a free API key without paying. Pro (€9/mo) lifts the daily quota to 100. Bulk (€19/mo) is unlimited through the UI. The API plan (€49/mo) ships 10,000 conversions/month via the HTTP endpoint plus 5 GB max file size.
- No. The free tier works without signup or email. If you want to paste an access key for higher limits, you can sign in with a magic link — still no password required.
- Conversion happens on EU-hosted infrastructure over HTTPS. Source files are kept only as long as the conversion job needs (seconds). The output is held for 24 hours via a signed URL, then permanently deleted. We never read file contents or share data with third parties.
- CSV can losslessly represent the contents of a XLSX file in most cases. We preserve the original quality unless you explicitly request a downsample.
- Free: 10 MB. Pro: 100 MB. Bulk: 1 GB. API: 5 GB. Files larger than the tier limit get a 413 response with the exact file size and the smallest tier that would accept it.
- Yes. POST to https://bulkconvert.io/api/v1/convert with a Bearer token, a source_url (publicly fetchable), and to:"csv". The response includes the signed download URL inline plus your monthly usage. Every signed-in user gets a free key with the same 3/day quota as the web UI; upgrade to the API plan when you need more. See /docs/api for the full reference.
- No watermark, ever. Even on the free tier the output is a clean CSV file identical to what the paid tiers produce.
- XLSX → CSV is the standard move when you need to repurpose the content as CSV. Common cases: students sharing assignments, freelancers turning XLSX reports into client-editable formats, and devs pulling text out of XLSX for downstream processing.
