SPSS .sav files are standard in social science and market research, but opening them without an SPSS licence is a common pain point. Converting to CSV gives you instant access to your data in any tool — R, Python, Excel, or Google Sheets.
About SAV and CSV
application/x-spss-sav
SAV is the binary file format used by SPSS.
text/csv
CSV is a simple text-based format for storing tabular data using commas as delimiters. It is highly portable and supported by virtually all databases, spreadsheet tools, and programming languages. CSV does not support formatting or formulas but excels at data interchange and exports.
Conversion Notes
SAV and CSV use different internal structures, and our converter handles the mapping automatically. Text content, core data, and primary media streams are preserved. Format-specific features with no equivalent in the target — proprietary metadata, platform-specific extensions, or advanced layout instructions — are omitted from the output file.
