Pro Tips
- •The tool automatically detects which repeated element represents a 'row' - usually the most common child element under the root
- •Each row element's own child elements become spreadsheet columns, named after their tag names
- •Auto-sized columns ensure all data is visible without manual adjustment in Excel
- •Frozen headers stay visible when scrolling through large datasets
- •The whole document is parsed locally in your browser - nothing is uploaded anywhere

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the tool know which XML element represents a row?
It looks at the root element's children and finds the most common repeated tag name - for example, in <rows><row>...</row><row>...</row></rows>, each <row> becomes one spreadsheet row. If there's a single wrapper element, it looks one level deeper automatically.
Will the XLSX file open in Excel?
Yes. The tool generates a native Excel 2007+ XLSX file that opens in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc, and other spreadsheet applications.
What if different rows have different fields?
The spreadsheet includes the union of every column name found across all rows. Rows missing a particular field simply get an empty cell for that column.
Is my XML uploaded to a server?
No. The entire document is parsed locally in your browser using the native DOMParser API, and the Excel file is generated locally too. Your data never leaves your device.
Can I add multiple sheets to the output file?
This tool creates a single-sheet Excel file. If you need multiple sheets, convert each XML document separately and combine the sheets manually in Excel.
