CSV at a glance
CSV
Convert to CSV when data needs to move between tools rather than preserve layout.
It is the standard target for database exports, spreadsheet imports, mailing-list uploads, analytics extracts, and one-time migrations into other business systems.
Use CSV when recipients need a simple table they can open anywhere or ingest programmatically, and avoid it when formulas, multiple sheets, cell formatting, comments, or strong typing need to survive the conversion.
CSV is best when interoperability and machine-readability matter more than presentation.
MP4 at a glance
MP4
Convert to MP4 when the goal is reliable playback almost everywhere.
It is the best default for web uploads, customer downloads, course content, product demos, internal training videos, social publishing, and mobile-friendly delivery.
Use MP4 when you need a compact file with broad hardware decoding support and minimal friction for recipients.
It is less ideal than MOV for certain post-production handoffs and less flexible than MKV for niche container features, but for mainstream delivery and compatibility, MP4 is usually the right answer.
