How to Convert SPSS .SAV Files to CSV

SPSS .SAV files store survey data in a proprietary binary format that most tools can't read directly. This free converter lets you transform .SAV files into universal CSV format that opens in Excel, Google Sheets, R, Python, or any data tool.

Why convert to CSV?

  • Universal compatibility — CSV opens in any spreadsheet or data tool
  • No SPSS required — share data with colleagues who don't have SPSS
  • Import to R or Python — CSV is the easiest format for statistical programming
  • Archive data — CSV is a future-proof, non-proprietary format

Value labels vs. numeric codes

SPSS stores data as numeric codes (e.g., 1, 2, 3) with human-readable labels (e.g., "Agree", "Neutral", "Disagree"). When converting to CSV, you can choose:

  • Value labels — easier to read in Excel, best for sharing with non-technical colleagues
  • Numeric codes — preserves the raw data, best for importing into R/Python for further analysis
