Frequently Asked Questions
No. The Excel to JSON Converter processes files 100% client-side inside your web browser. Using local JavaScript memory via SheetJS, files are read, parsed, and converted in your local device. No files or cell values ever leave your computer, ensuring total data security and privacy.
Yes. Once you load a spreadsheet containing multiple worksheet tabs, an 'Active Worksheet' selector appears. You can select any sheet tab from the dropdown or the sheet list sidebar to parse and inspect its grid preview instantly.
By default, the converter auto-detects cell types and preserves numbers and booleans as JS values in the generated JSON. If you wish to disable this behavior and convert all cells to flat text strings, you can uncheck 'Parse numbers' or 'Parse booleans' in the Advanced options panel.
If 'Convert date cells' is enabled, the parser translates Excel dates into formal strings. You can choose your preferred date format: ISO Strings (e.g. 2026-07-09T...), Raw Unix Millisecond timestamps, or local Date/Time strings.
If your worksheet starts directly with data rows, simply uncheck the 'First row as headers' option. The converter will automatically assign standard Excel column letters (A, B, C...) as JSON keys. Alternatively, you can type in your own comma-separated list of column names under the custom headers input.
We support Excel sheets up to 10MB in size. For sheets containing thousands of rows, the preview tab utilizes virtual scrolling, which renders only the rows currently visible on your screen to ensure the browser remains fast and responsive.
