How to use clean excel copy (values only)
Select a workbook. Sheets are listed with visibility status.
Choose which sheets to include (hidden sheets are excluded by default).
A brand-new workbook is built from displayed values only.
The output is reparsed to verify it contains no formulas, comments, links, or properties, then downloads.
What this tool does
- Fresh workbook rebuilt from values — original package parts are never copied
- Excludes formulas, comments, hyperlinks, defined names, macros, and document properties by construction
- Hidden and very-hidden sheets excluded by default (opt-in per sheet)
- XLSX or per-sheet CSV output
How the result is verified
The output package is reparsed and scanned: verification requires zero formulas, zero comments, zero hyperlinks, zero defined names, and empty document properties, plus matching sheet and row counts for what you selected.
Frequently asked questions
Why is a fresh rebuild safer than deleting things?
Editing a workbook in place can leave remnants — shared strings that still hold deleted text, cached pivot data, revision metadata. A values-only rebuild starts from an empty file and copies in only visible cell values, so there is nowhere for hidden structures to survive.
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. The file is opened with your browser's File API and processed by code running in your tab. You can confirm this yourself: open your browser's developer tools, watch the Network panel, and process a file — no request carries your file's bytes. See our How it works page for a step-by-step verification guide.
