Native Toolbar Button

Appears directly in your Google Sheets toolbar alongside your other tools. No context switching required.

One-Click Download

Configure once, download instantly. Your JSON file is generated client-side and downloaded directly to your machine.

Configurable Options

Control headers, whitespace trimming, type conversion, empty row handling, nesting, and custom column names.

Nested JSON

Use dot notation in your headers (e.g. address.city) and get nested objects automatically.

Client-Side Processing

Your data never leaves your browser. No servers, no uploads, no third parties touching your spreadsheets.

Lightweight

Minimal footprint. Only activates on Google Sheets pages and injects a single toolbar button. Nothing more.

Three steps.
No setup.

Install the extension

Add Sheet to JSON from the Chrome Web Store. It takes two seconds and requires minimal permissions.

Open any spreadsheet

Navigate to a Google Sheets document. You'll see a new JSON button in the toolbar.

Click and download

Configure your export options in the popover and click Download JSON. Your file downloads immediately.

Fine-tune your export.

Every spreadsheet is different. These options let you get exactly the JSON structure you need.

noHeader First row won't be treated as column headers. Use with custom headers.
trimWhitespace Strips leading and trailing whitespace from every cell value.
autoTypeConvert Automatically converts numbers, booleans, and null strings to their native types.
ignoreEmpty Skips rows where all cells are empty, keeping your JSON clean.
nestedStructure Converts dot-notation headers into nested JSON objects.
customHeaders Supply your own comma-separated header names when using noHeader mode.

Common questions.

No. All conversion happens entirely in your browser. Your spreadsheet data is fetched directly from Google's export endpoint to your local machine. Nothing is sent to any external server.

Yes, as long as you're logged in and have access to the spreadsheet. The extension uses your existing Google session to fetch the CSV export.

Yes. The extension exports whichever sheet tab is currently active. Simply switch to the tab you want before clicking Download JSON.

If your column headers use dot notation (e.g. address.city), enabling this option will produce nested objects instead of flat keys.

The extension supports both Chrome (Manifest V3) and Firefox (Manifest V2). Install it from the respective extension stores.

Make sure the extension is enabled and you've refreshed the Google Sheets page after installing. The button only appears when you have edit or view access to the spreadsheet.
