Frequently asked questions (JSON to Excel)

Does this tool support multiple sheets in Excel?

Yes. If your JSON contains nested objects or arrays, the tool automatically creates separate sheets for each level. For example, an object with keys order and items will generate two sheets: "order" and "items".

Is my JSON data uploaded to a server?

No. All processing happens locally in your browser using the SheetJS library. Your data never leaves your computer – it even works offline.

Can it handle large JSON files (e.g., 100,000 rows)?

Yes – performance depends on your device’s memory and browser engine. The tool is optimized for most production‑size JSON arrays (tens of thousands of rows). Extremely large files may cause lag, but typical API responses convert instantly.

What Excel formats can I download?

You can export as .xlsx (Excel 2007 and later – recommended) or legacy .xls (Excel 97-2003) for compatibility with older software.

How are nested arrays and objects represented in Excel?

Each distinct nested object or array becomes a separate sheet. The parent sheet includes a column with the sheet name where child details can be found, making relationships clear.

Can I preview the Excel sheets before downloading?

Yes. After conversion, the tool displays interactive sheet tabs below the output panel. Click any tab to see a formatted HTML preview of that sheet’s content.

Is this JSON to Excel converter really free?

Yes, completely free. No hidden fees, no premium tiers, no watermarks. DataFrog believes essential tools should be accessible to everyone.
