Output Structure Explained

This tool offers two output structures so you can choose the best format for your downstream consumption:

Output Structure Data Format Best For
Object array (header as key) Uses the first row as field names and turns each row into a JSON object, e.g. [{ "name":"John", "age":25 }, ...] Best for APIs and programs, with clear field semantics
2D array (raw rows) Keeps the full row/column layout as [[header...],[data...],...] Suitable when you need the raw structure and handle headers yourself

FAQ

What is the Excel to JSON tool?

Excel to JSON is a tool that converts Excel spreadsheets into JSON data. It turns .xlsx / .xls files into well-structured JSON, supporting object-array and 2D-array output and merging multiple worksheets — all processed locally in your browser.

How do I use the Excel to JSON converter?

It only takes three steps. First upload or drag an Excel file, then choose the output structure and multi-sheet handling in the parameter panel, and finally click "Start" and download the JSON file.

Which Excel formats are supported?

.xlsx and .xls formats are supported; .xlsx is recommended for the best compatibility.

Is the header used as the key in object-array mode?

Yes. In "Object array (header as key)" mode, the tool uses the first row as field names and converts each row into a JSON object; if a column has no header, a placeholder key is auto-generated.

How are multiple worksheets handled?

By default the tool merges all worksheets into an object keyed by sheet name; you can also choose "First sheet only". A single-sheet file is output directly in the chosen structure.

Are dates and special types preserved?

Yes. The tool preserves the original types of dates, numbers and booleans (dates become a standard format, numbers keep full precision). Empty null cells are represented as null, ensuring the JSON can be parsed correctly by programs.

Is batch conversion supported?

Yes. Multiple files can be uploaded in batch; each is independently converted to JSON and can be downloaded individually or as a ZIP.

Is there a file size limit?

Regular-sized Excel files are supported. For very large files, consider removing irrelevant data before conversion. The exact limits follow your membership benefits; the free quota already covers daily use.

Is this better than writing JSON by hand?

This tool saves time and reduces errors. It automatically parses the Excel structure and produces clean, standard JSON, avoiding the formatting mistakes of manual writing — especially useful for batch data and complex tables.

Can I use it on a phone or tablet?

Yes. As a web app, it works in browsers on phones, tablets, and computers, so you can convert anytime, anywhere.

What if conversion fails or returns empty results?

Try refreshing the page first. Make sure the file is not an encrypted or corrupted Excel; if needed, save it as .xlsx and re-upload. You can also try another browser before converting again.

Is the processing secure? Do I need to register?

Files are processed entirely in your browser — no registration required. Nothing is uploaded to any server and your data stays on your device. Feel free to use with confidence.
