Drop FEATHER files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.
Press Convert. There is nothing else to set. The work happens in this tab.
Save the JSON, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.
The FEATHER to JSON converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your datasets are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.
Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.
No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.
Feather is binary, and spreadsheet programs cannot open it. JSON is what APIs and most programming languages read natively. FEATHER is at home in quickly saving a data frame between Python and R sessions; JSON is the usual choice for APIs and data exchanged between programs.
Arrow IPC files and Feather version 2 files are read, including LZ4 and Zstandard compressed ones. The older Feather version 1 layout is refused with a message saying so.
Feather was created to exchange data frames between Python and R quickly. Version 2 is the Apache Arrow file format with a different name, version 1 an earlier, simpler layout. It stores column types exactly and reads much faster than CSV.

FEATHER converterJSON represents data as nested objects and lists in plain text. It is the default language of web APIs. Unlike a spreadsheet it can be nested to any depth, which is also why turning it into rows and columns takes a decision about how to flatten it.

No. The FEATHER to JSON conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.
The values are kept. Anything JSON has no way to express, such as formatting, formulas or nesting, is simplified or left out.
Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.
The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the FEATHER file, press Convert and save the JSON. There is nothing to install.
Yes. Binary data files up to 150 MB are accepted; a larger file is refused with a message. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
