Is this Excel to JSON converter free?
Yes, completely free with no limits on conversions or file size (up to 25MB). No registration required, no watermarks. All processing happens in your browser for complete privacy.
Are my Excel files uploaded to servers?

What Excel file formats are supported?
Supports Excel files (.xlsx, .xls) and OpenDocument Spreadsheets (.ods). Maximum file size is 25MB to ensure optimal browser performance during conversion.
Can I convert multiple sheets from one Excel file?
Yes, you can convert all sheets, just the first sheet, or a specific sheet by name. Multi-sheet conversions include metadata about each sheet and its structure for organized JSON output.
How are Excel data types handled in JSON?
Numbers remain as numbers, text as strings, dates can be converted to ISO format or timestamps, and formulas are converted to their calculated values. Empty cells can be included or excluded based on your settings.
What if my Excel file has merged cells or complex formatting?
The converter focuses on data extraction and may not preserve complex formatting or merged cell structures. It works best with tabular data where each row represents a record.
Can I use the first row as column headers?
Yes, you can enable "First row as headers" to use the first row values as JSON object keys. If disabled, columns will be named automatically (A, B, C, etc.).
What output formats are available?
Choose from Array (simple JSON array), Object (JSON objects with headers), or Nested (includes metadata about sheets, rows, and conversion settings). Pick the format that best fits your use case.
