About the Excel to XML Converter
The Excel to XML Converter turns a spreadsheet into structured XML, a format many enterprise systems, data feeds, and legacy applications require. Each row and column is mapped into nested XML elements so your tabular data fits into XML-based workflows.
Plenty of business systems — accounting packages, government filings, and B2B data exchanges — still ingest XML rather than CSV or JSON. Converting Excel to XML lets you produce exactly the structure those systems expect without hand-writing tags.
Conversion runs in your browser, so your spreadsheet never leaves your device. That keeps sensitive data private while you generate the XML, with no upload or account required.

Frequently asked questions
How is the spreadsheet mapped to XML?
Rows become repeating elements and columns become child elements or attributes, so the table structure is reflected in the XML hierarchy.
Can I control the element names?
Element names are derived from your column headers, and options may let you adjust the structure to fit the target system’s schema.
Is the XML valid and well-formed?
The converter produces well-formed XML. If a destination requires a specific schema, you may need to adjust names to match it exactly.
Is my data uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs in your browser, so your spreadsheet never leaves your device.
How do I go from XML back to Excel?
Use the XML to Excel converter to turn XML data back into a spreadsheet.
