## What it is
A fast Python command-line tool that converts Microsoft Excel XLSX files to CSV format, including support for very large files. It can be installed via pip or run standalone as a single script, with options for sheet selection, encoding, delimiters, and date formats.

## Use cases

- extract a specific excel sheet to csv
- convert huge excel files without running out of memory
- batch export all sheets of a workbook to csv
- change date and float formatting when exporting excel data
- convert xlsx to csv with custom delimiter or encoding

## When to choose
- you need a fast, dependency-light xlsx-to-csv converter
- you work with very large Excel files that crash GUI tools
- you want scriptable conversion in pipelines or cron jobs
- you need fine control over sheets, delimiters, encodings, and formats

## When to avoid
- you need to convert csv back to xlsx
