Open Apple Numbers documents on any computer by turning them into Excel workbooks. Each table becomes an Excel sheet with its values, dates, text and merged cells.
No file at hand?
Never copied: fonts, colours, fills, borders, alignment, conditional formatting, data validation, charts, images and macros. The free SheetJS engine used here reads data, not styles.
The .numbers file is opened and converted in your browser, on your own device. There is no server in between: the page only downloads its own code and the open-source SheetJS library from this site. Check it in the Network tab of your browser’s developer tools, or go offline after the page loads.
It is the quickest way to open a .numbers attachment on a Windows PC without an Apple account and without sending the file to a third party.
.numbers is the format of Apple Numbers, the spreadsheet app included with every Mac, iPhone and iPad. Since Numbers 3.0 (2013) a document is a ZIP package of “IWA” archives: Protocol Buffers messages compressed with Snappy. No version of Microsoft Excel, on Windows or on Mac, can open it directly, which is why a .numbers attachment so often arrives as an unreadable file.
Numbers also works differently from Excel. A sheet is a free canvas that can hold several tables, charts and text boxes, while an Excel sheet is a single grid. When converting, every table becomes its own Excel sheet.
We tested the converter with documents saved by Numbers 15 for Mac and opened the results in Microsoft Excel.
Numbers stores numbers as decimals. To avoid tiny rounding noise such as −35.300000000000004, the converter keeps 15 significant digits, the same precision Numbers and Excel show.
If you need the formulas and the formatting, open the document in Numbers and use File › Export To › Excel. Use this page when you are not on an Apple device or when you have many files to convert.
Yes. It is 100% free, with no usage limits, no account and no sign-up. There is no paid plan and no feature is locked.
No. Your files are read and converted inside your browser, on your own device. The page only downloads its own code and the open-source SheetJS library from this site; the contents and names of your files are never sent anywhere. If you accept analytics cookies, Google Analytics receives anonymous usage data such as page views, never the contents or names of your files.
Excel cannot open .numbers files. Drop the file on this page and download it as .xlsx, which opens in Excel, Google Sheets or LibreOffice. No Apple account or Mac is needed.
No. Numbers formulas are converted to their results, so the values are correct but they will not recalculate in Excel. If you need the formulas, export from Numbers itself with File › Export To › Excel.
A Numbers sheet can hold several tables; an Excel sheet is one grid. Each table becomes its own Excel sheet, named after the Numbers sheet with _1, _2 and so on for the extra tables.
Documents from Numbers 3.0 (2013) and later, which covers every current Mac, iPhone and iPad. We tested with Numbers 15. Old Numbers ’09 files and password-protected documents cannot be read.
There is no fixed limit and no usage quota. Each workbook is converted in your device’s memory, so the practical limit is your RAM: a recent computer handles files of tens of megabytes; on phones, keep files under about 20 MB.
Analytics: only if you accept cookies, the page loads Google Analytics (through Google Tag Manager) to count visits and see which tools are used. It never receives the contents or names of your files. You can change your choice at any time with “Cookie settings” at the bottom of the page.
