Spreadsheets, no account

Open Excel files without Excel.

View, search, edit and convert .xlsx, .csv, .ods and more — parsed on your device, never uploaded to a cloud.

GhostSheet opens and converts spreadsheets in your browser — no Excel, no Google account, no upload. View and edit .xlsx, .xls, .csv, .ods and .tsv files as a clean sortable table, search across every cell, fix values inline, and export to CSV, Excel (.xlsx) or JSON. The file is parsed on your device, so a financial model or a customer list is never sent to a server just to be read.

How it works

  1. 1

    Open your spreadsheet

    Drop an .xlsx, .xls, .csv, .ods or .tsv file, or paste rows straight from another sheet.

  2. 2

    View, search, and edit

    Browse it as a sortable table with sheet tabs, filter rows by keyword, and click any cell to fix a value.

  3. 3

    Convert and export

    Download as CSV, Excel (.xlsx) or JSON in one click.

Frequently asked questions

  • Can I open an .xlsx file without Excel?

    Yes. GhostSheet renders Excel files as a clean table in your browser — no Microsoft Office and no Google account needed.

  • Does the spreadsheet get uploaded?

    No. The file is parsed entirely on your device, so sensitive data (finances, contacts) is never sent to a server.

  • How do I convert XLSX to CSV or JSON?

    Open the file and use the export menu to download it as CSV, Excel or JSON — the conversion runs locally.

  • Can I edit cells before exporting?

    Yes. Click any cell to change its value, then export the corrected file.

  • What formats can I open?

    .xlsx, .xls, .csv, .ods and .tsv. You can also paste tabular data directly.

Everything runs in your browser. Your files are never uploaded — for the single-file tools there's no upload endpoint to send them to.
