Frequently asked questions

How are numbers and dates handled?

With "Store numeric-looking cells as numbers" checked, a cell containing only digits (with an optional decimal point or minus sign) is stored as a real Excel number rather than text - useful for sums and formulas in the output file.

Can I rename the sheet?

Yes, set "Sheet name" before converting - it's limited to 31 characters, matching Excel's own sheet-name limit.

Does this produce a real .xlsx file?

Yes, a standard Excel workbook that opens directly in Excel, Google Sheets, or any compatible spreadsheet app.

Is my data uploaded anywhere?

No. Conversion happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript - nothing you paste or upload is sent to a server.
