Preserve Leading Zeros in Zip Codes and IDs During CSV Conversion

Step by step

  1. 1

    Load CSV Document

    Choose your CSV file containing zero-prefixed numbers.

  2. 2

    Verify in Table Preview

    Inspect the leading columns to verify the zeros remain intact.

  3. 3

    Download XLSX Workbook

    Save the output as an XLSX spreadsheet or UTF-8 BOM CSV.

Protect Numeric Identifier Codes

Values such as 5-digit ZIP codes (e.g., 01234) or serial codes are preserved as text strings rather than converted into truncated integers.

Extract Specific Sheets from Workbooks

Need to go the other way? You can also import multi-sheet XLSX or XLS workbooks, select any specific sheet, and export it as clean CSV.
