Simple way to convert xls/xlsx into csv by using apache POI.

public class XLSXToCSVConverter {

    public InputStream convertxlstoCSV(InputStream inputStream) throws IOException, InvalidFormatException {

        Workbook wb = WorkbookFactory.create(inputStream);

        return  csvConverter(wb.getSheetAt(0));
    }

    private InputStream csvConverter(Sheet sheet) {
        Row row = null;
        String str = new String();
        for (int i = 0; i < sheet.getLastRowNum()+1; i++) {
            row = sheet.getRow(i);
            String rowString = new String();
            for (int j = 0; j < 3; j++) {
                if(row.getCell(j)==null) {
                    rowString = rowString + Utility.BLANK_SPACE + Utility.COMMA;
                }
                else {
                    rowString = rowString + row.getCell(j)+ Utility.COMMA;
                }
            }
            str = str + rowString.substring(0,rowString.length()-1)+ Utility.NEXT_LINE_OPERATOR;
        }
        System.out.println(str);
        return new ByteArrayInputStream(str.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
    }
}

Hope this will help you , Thanks.
