Graphics-category GED files contain vector artwork, while CSV is used when a program needs rows of delimited data rather than a drawing. Convert one when a workflow specifically accepts CSV; the result cannot preserve the original artwork as an editable graphic.
What the GED format is
In the Graphics category, GED refers to an Arts & Letters graphics document, not a GEDCOM genealogy file. Arts & Letters software created and edited these vector drawings; GED files may turn up in older clip-art collections or archives.
What the CSV format is
CSV stores tabular data as text, with fields separated by a delimiter such as a comma. Spreadsheet and database programs can open it, and its plain-text structure is easy to inspect and exchange. It does not store vector shapes, colors, or layout as artwork.

Offline with desktop software
I can’t identify a verified desktop application that directly exports this Graphics-category GED format to CSV. Arts & Letters software works with the artwork, but CSV is tabular data, not a drawing format; do not assume that opening or exporting the GED in an image editor will produce equivalent CSV data. If the file must stay offline, use a documented format-specific converter or a custom parser that defines which graphic properties become columns.
Quality and limitations
CSV can only represent data that the converter extracts and arranges into fields, such as object attributes or coordinates. It cannot retain the drawing’s appearance or vector-editing structure. Check the output’s rows, column headings, separator, and encoding in the program that will consume it; the exact fields depend on the converter’s mapping.
