Simple by design

JSON to Excel in three steps

FileGizmo converts JSON records into a modern Excel XLSX workbook without uploading the source. Choose a JSON file containing an array of objects or one object, select how nested values should be represented, and name the worksheet. Flatten mode turns nested keys into dotted columns such as address.city; compact mode keeps nested objects and arrays as JSON text in a cell.

The converter builds a union of keys so records with different fields remain aligned. Missing values become empty cells, Unicode text is retained, and strings beginning with spreadsheet formula triggers are stored as text to reduce formula-injection risk. The generated workbook contains one worksheet and does not infer styling, charts, validation rules, or formulas.

Parsing and XLSX creation happen in the browser worker, then the standard result contract provides the correct filename and MIME type. Review dates, long identifiers, and leading-zero codes after opening the workbook because spreadsheet applications may apply their own display or type interpretation. For very deeply nested datasets, flatten the structure first and confirm the resulting column names remain understandable.

Frequently asked questions

Which JSON shape works best?

An array of objects works best; a single object is converted into one spreadsheet row.

How are nested objects handled?

Choose flattened dotted columns or compact JSON text inside individual cells.

Are spreadsheet formulas protected?

Yes. Text beginning with formula-trigger characters is stored safely as text.

Is the JSON uploaded?

No. Parsing and workbook generation run in a dedicated browser worker.
