Convert Excel to XML online

Turn one worksheet from an .xlsx or .xls workbook into UTF-8 XML without installing desktop software. Choose the sheet when a workbook has more than one, review a table preview, then convert and copy or download the result.

Your Excel workbook is processed locally in your browser and is not uploaded to our servers.

How to convert

1. Choose or drag an .xlsx or .xls file into the tool.
2. If the workbook has multiple visible worksheets, select the one to export.
3. Select Convert to XML, then copy the XML or download the .xml file.

Safe row and field XML

• The first row is treated as column headers.
• Each data cell becomes a <field name="…"> element so spaces, punctuation, and duplicate headers stay valid.
• Only one visible worksheet is exported at a time — sheets are never silently merged.
• Resolved display values are used; formula text is not executed.

Private processing

Your Excel workbook is processed locally in your browser and is not uploaded to our servers. SheetJS runs in the browser to read the workbook, and XML is generated on-device. There is no Looty Tools conversion endpoint that receives your spreadsheet contents for this workflow.

Limits and important notes

• Maximum workbook size is 25.0 MB, with at most 50 worksheets.
• Only one worksheet can be converted at a time.
• A worksheet with only a header row and no data rows is rejected.
• Hidden worksheets are excluded from the sheet list.
