Drop XLSX (Excel) 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 result. When one file produces several JSONL files they come as a single ZIP.
The XLSX to JSONL converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your spreadsheets 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.
XLSX is awkward for scripts, databases and import tools that expect plain text. JSONL can be streamed and appended to one record at a time. XLSX is at home in spreadsheets with formulas, formatting and several sheets; JSONL is the usual choice for training data, logs and record streams processed line by line.
One XLSX can produce several JSONL files (one record per line); when it does, they are offered together as a ZIP download.
Each record is written on its own line with no enclosing array. A workbook or database with several tables gives one file per table.
XLSX is Excel's format since Office 2007. A workbook can hold many sheets with formulas, formatting and charts. Programs and scripts usually prefer the same data as CSV or JSON.

XLSX converterJSON Lines holds one JSON value per line, so a file can be read or appended to a record at a time. It is the usual format for machine-learning datasets and logs. It is the same convention as NDJSON; only the name and the file extension differ.

No. The XLSX to JSONL 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 JSONL 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 XLSX file, press Convert and save the JSONL. There is nothing to install.
Yes. Spreadsheet 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.
