Frequently asked questions

Is my XML uploaded to a server to turn it into ODS?

No. The XML to ODS 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.

Which XML can become ODS?

One that is a list of records, like [{"name": "Ana"}, {"name": "Luis"}]: each record becomes a row and each field a column. If the data is not table-shaped, you are told.

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 XML files at once?

Yes. Drop as many XML files as you like: several are converted at the same time, depending on your processor cores, and when they finish you can download each ODS or all of them in a ZIP.
