Convert your XML to Excel, then back to XML in one click.

Drop your XML on the Upload page: a free preview shows the first rows of the CSV before any credit is used. Confirm and you receive an .excelify.zip bundle containing an editable CSV + a structure manifest (skeleton.json). Unzip it and edit the CSV in Excel/Numbers/Sheets. To rebuild the XML, drop the edited CSV with skeleton.json on the Rebuild page — the modified XML downloads. Works on Mac, Windows, Linux, Chromebook.

Yes. As soon as you drop your XML, a free preview shows the element chosen to make one CSV row, the number of rows and columns, and the first rows. Not the right row? Pick another one and the preview updates. The credit is only used when you confirm the transformation, and a file we can't transform costs you nothing.

No. Your files transit, are processed in memory (a few seconds), then immediately deleted — large files go through a private, encrypted transit space in Europe for the time of the preview and the transformation, wiped afterwards (at the latest one hour after the upload). No retention, no third party, and no metadata kept — no file name, no size, no history. GDPR by design.

No, nothing. Transformation and reconstruction happen directly on the site, in any browser — Mac, Windows, Linux, Chromebook. No plugin or software to install. And if you choose the standalone Excel workbook, its macro lives inside the workbook itself: nothing to install either.

Yes, to transform a file: your free account is what holds your credits. You get 3 credits when you sign up, then 1 free credit every week, with no credit card. Without your consent, we send no advertising emails, only those about your account (welcome, invoices). Rebuilding an XML, on the other hand, needs no account.

As many times as you want. Unlimited reconstructions on all plans, including the free plan. You pay for the transformation (1 credit, after a free preview), not to regenerate the file. Edit your CSV once, ten times or a thousand times — the cost is the same.

ExcelifyXML supports all valid XML — Salesforce Commerce Cloud (catalog, library, inventory), Akeneo PIM, Magento 2, Shopify, PrestaShop, Wix, Google Shopping, WordPress WXR. The algorithm auto-detects structure, handles multi-locale (xml:lang, locale, attribute-id), nested wrappers and inherited attributes.

Transformation: up to 4 MB on the free plan, up to 30 MB on the VIP plan (secure direct upload, nothing retained). Reconstruction: free for everyone with no output ceiling — depending on its content, a 4 MB .excelify.zip bundle is roughly 10 to 30 MB of rebuilt XML (less for a text-rich feed, more for a catalog with repetitive values). Tip for very large catalogs: transform a small sample with the same structure, edit the full volume in Excel, save it as “CSV UTF-8” and rebuild — a single credit used (see the “large XML file” guide).

It's a separator story: French Excel expects semicolons, English Excel commas. ExcelifyXML picks automatically from the site language — and you can force either one under “Advanced options”, below the preview on the Upload page, before transforming. File already downloaded? In Excel: Data → Text to Columns → Delimited → tick the right separator. Reconstruction finds the separator on its own, whatever it is.

Yes, if you open the CSV by double-click: Excel turns EANs into “3.61235E+12”, drops leading zeros and rewrites dates its own way, and its classic “CSV” format replaces the characters it can't write (Greek, Cyrillic, Chinese…) with “?”. ExcelifyXML points out the columns at risk from the preview on, and the reconstruction stops if a code turned into scientific notation, a date changed or, in most cases, characters were replaced with “?”. To avoid it: import the CSV with Data › From Text/CSV, those columns as Text, and save as “CSV UTF-8”.

Yes, with the standalone Excel workbook (2 credits): you get an .xlsm workbook holding your data and a "Generate XML" button. Your edits and the XML generation happen in Excel, on your computer, offline, as many times as you like. It needs desktop Excel (Windows or Mac) and allowing this workbook's macro; otherwise, the standard mode (CSV and online reconstruction) works everywhere.
