About the Excel to JSON Converter

Spreadsheets are how most non-engineering teams hand off structured data — product catalogs, survey exports, finance reports — but almost every downstream system (APIs, no-code tools, data pipelines) expects JSON, not .xlsx binary format. Converting by hand means writing a throwaway script or copy-pasting cell by cell, which doesn't scale past a few dozen rows and breaks silently on merged cells or multiple sheet tabs.

This tool parses the workbook client-side, lets you preview the data and pick which worksheet to export if the file has more than one tab, and handles large exports (100K+ rows) with pagination so the browser doesn't choke rendering a giant preview table. The output is clean, nested-free JSON with column headers as keys — ready to drop into a script, seed a database, or import into another tool.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my Excel file safe?

Yes. Your file is processed in memory on the server and never stored to disk. Sessions expire automatically after 30 minutes.

Which Excel formats are supported?

Both modern .xlsx (Excel 2007+) and legacy .xls (Excel 97-2003) formats are supported.

What is the maximum file size?

The tool supports Excel files up to 20 MB in size.

How are data types handled in JSON?

Numbers are converted to numeric JSON values, booleans (TRUE/FALSE) become JSON booleans, and empty cells become null. Everything else is a string.

Can I convert multiple sheets?

Yes. After uploading, use the sheet selector to switch between worksheets and convert each one individually.
