Secure Processing
Built for researchers, analysts, and teams that care about privacy
Whether you receive survey data from a university partner or export production files from legacy statistical software, Stats2CSV keeps your information safe and usable. We never index or retain uploaded datasets—processing happens in a secured, isolated environment and your files vanish once you download the result.
Privacy by design
Encrypted uploads, isolated processing, and automatic deletion within minutes keep even sensitive respondent-level data out of long-term storage.
Fast & accurate
Optimized conversion pipelines preserve variable labels, missing value codes, and character encodings, delivering clean CSV or XLSX files in seconds.
Ready for modern tooling
Export to CSV for Python, R, or BI pipelines, or XLSX for spreadsheet workflows. No installs, no registration, and compatible with major browsers.
How Stats2CSV Works
Three quick steps turn proprietary datasets into files you can analyze anywhere. The converter remains unchanged—you still drag, drop, and download—now with clearer guidance.
Upload securely
Drop your .sav, .dta, or .sas7bdat file into the converter. Transfers are encrypted, and uploads stay in an isolated processing bucket during conversion.
Convert with precision
Our backend preserves variable metadata, Unicode characters, and missing value markers. Choose CSV for universal compatibility or XLSX for spreadsheet workflows.
Download & we delete
Your converted file is ready immediately. Once the download is complete, the original upload and output artifacts are removed. No retention, no reuse, no surprises.
Frequently asked questions
Transparent answers about privacy, supported formats, and usage limits.
Which file types can I convert with Stats2CSV?
Stats2CSV handles SPSS .sav, Stata .dta, and SAS .sas7bdat files. Each conversion lets you download a CSV or XLSX version so you can collaborate without requiring the original software.
How long do you keep my uploaded datasets?
Uploads are processed in memory-backed storage and deleted automatically right after your conversion finishes. We never build training datasets or analytics models from customer files.
Is there a file size or usage limit?
Files up to 100 MB convert quickly. Larger datasets may succeed but can take longer depending on browser limits and network throughput. There is no per-day usage cap—feel free to convert as many files as you need.
Do I need an account or email to use the converter?
No registration, logins, or watermarks. Load the site, drop your dataset, and download the converted output. For help, contact us anytime through our contact form.
Will labels and missing values survive the conversion?
Yes. Value labels, date formats, and missing value codes are preserved where technically possible. CSV exports flatten labels into readable columns, while XLSX keeps additional formatting for Excel users.
Safety note
Please avoid uploading files that contain personally identifiable information, financial records, or medical data unless you have permission from subjects and stakeholders. While Stats2CSV is built for temporary processing, we recommend redacting direct identifiers or using pseudonymized datasets whenever possible.
Why CSV and XLSX?
CSV is a universal interchange format supported by every data stack, cloud warehouse, and scripting language. XLSX keeps styling for business users and allows pivot tables or charts without extra tooling. Download both to accommodate different teammates.
