Data tool / 100% free

Excel to JSON

Convert Excel XLS or XLSX files to JSON objects for APIs, imports, and automation. It covers both older .xls files and modern .xlsx workbooks, so the upload does not fail just because the spreadsheet came from an older system. It is free, needs no account, and adds no watermark to your result.

How it works

What happens to your file.

The spreadsheet is opened through the workbook engine, a sheet is selected, and each row is mapped to the headers in the first row. The output is formatted JSON that can be inspected or downloaded.

Where it stops: Only table-shaped data converts cleanly. Pivot tables, charts, merged layout cells, and workbook styling do not have a direct JSON equivalent.

Questions

Common questions.

Does it support XLS as well as XLSX?

Yes. This route accepts both old XLS and modern XLSX input.

Can I pick a sheet?

Yes. Choose the sheet that contains the table you want to export.

What if my sheet has notes above the headers?

Clean the sheet so the first row is the header row before converting.
