Is converting Excel to JSON with PDFPilot really free?
Yes. Excel to JSON is completely free to use, with no sign-up or account required.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your file is never uploaded to PDFPilot's servers.
Does this work with multi-sheet workbooks?
It reads the first sheet only. Use Excel Sheet Extractor first if you need a specific sheet from a multi-sheet workbook converted instead.
What does the JSON output look like?
An array of objects, one per row, keyed by the header row's column names.
Are formulas converted to their calculated values?
Yes — this tool reads each cell's evaluated value, not its underlying formula text.
What Excel formats are supported?
Both .xlsx and the older .xls format are accepted.
