What is a Numbers to Excel converter?

A Numbers to Excel converter takes an Apple Numbers spreadsheet and saves it as an Excel workbook. People use it to convert a .numbers file to Excel, turn a Numbers file into a spreadsheet Excel can open, or change a Numbers table into .xlsx. This page does that in the browser: you upload an unlocked .numbers file and download an Excel workbook. Cell values are kept. The result is an .xlsx file.

Tips for Numbers to Excel

Get a cleaner workbook from a Numbers file.
  • 01

    Use an unlocked file

    Encrypted Numbers files are rejected. Open the file in Numbers and save a copy without a password first.

  • 02

    Check formula cells

    Some formula cells stay blank in the workbook. Check those cells after you open the file in Excel.

  • 03

    Keep the file under 20 MB

    Larger spreadsheets are rejected so the conversion can finish in the browser.

  • 04

    Open it as Excel

    The download uses the .xlsx extension. Renaming a .numbers file to .xlsx does not create this workbook.
