Excel workbooks are the working format of many teams - but a program, an API or a test fixture usually needs JSON. This tool builds that bridge directly, with no CSV detour.

This tool reads the workbook entirely locally in the browser (SheetJS, pure JavaScript). A single sheet becomes a plain JSON array of row objects (the column header becomes the key). With several sheets you get ONE JSON object mapping each sheet name to its own row array - the whole workbook stays in one file this way.

Nothing is uploaded - the conversion even works offline after the first load. Unlike online converters that send Excel files to a server, your workbook stays exclusively on your device.

In 3 steps

  1. Drop or pick your Excel file (.xlsx).
  2. The tool converts each sheet to JSON locally.
  3. Download the JSON file.

Limitations: A single sheet yields a flat JSON array; several sheets yield a {sheetName: [...]} object. Formulas become their computed values; formatting, charts and macros are dropped. Very large workbooks need memory. Encrypted (password-protected) Excel files are not supported.
