12 Best Free Online Excel to XML Converter Services

Here is a list of the best free online Excel to XML converter services. Excel is a file format of Microsoft Excel that contains spreadsheet data. The data in a spreadsheet follows a tabular structure. On the other hand, XML is a markup language that is similar to HTML. Unlike HTML which has predefined tags, XML lets you define your own tags as per your needs. This makes XML good for storing and transporting data in a structured format between software.

It is easy to convert Excel spreadsheet data to XML data. There are many online tools that you can use for this task. I’m covering 12 such online tools where you can perform this conversion within a minute or so. Most of these converter tools perform file-to-file conversion where you upload an Excel file and get an XML file as output. Some converters take a fast pace approach to this conversion. These tools let you paste Excel data directly and then show XML data after conversion. With that said, let’s go through the list and check these out in detail.
