Frequently asked questions
Is my ODS uploaded to a server to turn it into JSON?
No. The ODS to JSON conversion runs entirely in your browser, with code downloaded from this site and executed on your device. You can check it in the Network tab of the developer tools or by going offline after the page loads.
Is there a size limit?
Up to 1 GB on desktop and about 200 MB on mobile, although a huge spreadsheet may take a few seconds.
Can I convert several ODS files at once?
Yes. Drop as many ODS files as you like: several are converted at the same time, depending on your processor cores, and when they finish you can download each JSON or all of them in a ZIP.
