      <title>How HR Can Generate 500 Onboarding Letters in 5 Minutes with Excel</title>

      <description>&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  The Scenario: Campus Hiring Season, 500 Onboarding Letters to Send
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you work in HR, you already know what's coming. Campus recruiting season is here, and your director just dropped an Excel spreadsheet on your desk: 500 new hires, each with their name, department, position, start date, and salary. The request? "Get their onboarding letters done. EOD today."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You open your Word template, copy a name from Excel, paste it in, save as a new file, change the next name, repeat. At a normal pace, one letter takes about 2 minutes (including proofreading). That's 1,000 minutes — roughly 17 hours. Two full days of nonstop typing, assuming no breaks, no lunch, no life.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But there's another way. It takes &lt;strong&gt;5 minutes&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Step 1: Prepare a Word Template
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Open a Word document and format it like your usual onboarding letter. The only difference: replace every variable piece with a placeholder wrapped in curly braces.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;Dear {Name},

Congratulations on joining {Company}. We are pleased to offer you the position of {Position} in the {Department} department.

Start Date: {Start_Date}
Salary: {Salary}
Reporting To: {Manager}

Please bring your ID documents to {Office_Address} on your first day to complete the onboarding process.

Best regards,
{Company}
{Date}
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;This template takes about 15 minutes to set up — and then you can reuse it every year.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Step 2: Open Your Excel Data
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Your Excel sheet looks like this:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="table-wrapper-paragraph"&gt;&lt;table&gt;
&lt;thead&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Name&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Department&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Position&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Start_Date&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Salary&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Manager&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Office_Address&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Zhang Wei&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Engineering&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Frontend Dev&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;2026-09-01&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;15000&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Li Si&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Pudong Tower A&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Li Li&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Marketing&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Operations&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;2026-09-03&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;12000&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Wang Fang&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Pudong Tower B&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;...&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;...&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;...&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;...&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;...&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;...&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;...&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Make sure the column headers match your &lt;code&gt;{Placeholders}&lt;/code&gt; in the Word template.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Step 3: Open Sheet-to-Doc, Paste Data, Generate
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Visit &lt;a href="https://s.wtsolutions.cn/sheet-to-doc" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Sheet-to-Doc&lt;/a&gt;. Here's the entire workflow:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Upload your prepared Word template&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Copy and paste your Excel data into the website (or upload a CSV/Excel file)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Set the filename rule to &lt;code&gt;Onboarding_Letter_{Name}.docx&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Click "Generate"&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Within seconds, your browser downloads a ZIP archive. Unzip it, and you'll find &lt;strong&gt;500 individual Word files&lt;/strong&gt; — each named after the employee, each with the correct personal information filled in.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;From opening the website to having the files ready: &lt;strong&gt;under 5 minutes&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Data Security: Why HR Can Trust This
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;HR data is among the most sensitive in any organization — salaries, ID numbers, home addresses. A single leak can mean serious compliance issues.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sheet-to-Doc processes everything &lt;strong&gt;locally in your browser&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Data is never uploaded to any server&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;All processing happens on your own computer&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Data is cleared immediately after processing&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This means even your most sensitive payroll data never leaves your machine. For an extra layer of security, you can use the &lt;strong&gt;offline desktop version&lt;/strong&gt;, which runs completely without internet access.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Beyond Onboarding: What Else Can HR Automate?
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Onboarding letters are just the beginning. Here's a list of HR document types that Sheet-to-Doc handles with ease:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="table-wrapper-paragraph"&gt;&lt;table&gt;
&lt;thead&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Document Type&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Data Source&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Template Placeholders&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Termination Certificate&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Departure Register&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;
&lt;code&gt;{Name}&lt;/code&gt; &lt;code&gt;{Departure_Date}&lt;/code&gt; &lt;code&gt;{Position}&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Salary Confirmation&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Payroll Sheet&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;
&lt;code&gt;{Name}&lt;/code&gt; &lt;code&gt;{Monthly_Salary}&lt;/code&gt; &lt;code&gt;{Social_Insurance}&lt;/code&gt; &lt;code&gt;{Housing_Fund}&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Training Notice&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Training Roster&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;
&lt;code&gt;{Name}&lt;/code&gt; &lt;code&gt;{Training_Date}&lt;/code&gt; &lt;code&gt;{Training_Location}&lt;/code&gt; &lt;code&gt;{Course}&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Transfer Notification&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Transfer Approval&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;
&lt;code&gt;{Name}&lt;/code&gt; &lt;code&gt;{Old_Position}&lt;/code&gt; &lt;code&gt;{New_Position}&lt;/code&gt; &lt;code&gt;{Effective_Date}&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Bonus Letter&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Bonus Calculation&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;
&lt;code&gt;{Name}&lt;/code&gt; &lt;code&gt;{Bonus_Amount}&lt;/code&gt; &lt;code&gt;{Payment_Date}&lt;/code&gt; &lt;code&gt;{Tax}&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Contract Attachment&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Contract Data&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;
&lt;code&gt;{Name}&lt;/code&gt; &lt;code&gt;{Contract_Term}&lt;/code&gt; &lt;code&gt;{Salary}&lt;/code&gt; &lt;code&gt;{Job_Description}&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One template framework, reused all year round. Swap in a new Excel file each time — a batch of documents in minutes.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Is the Free Version Enough?
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The free version of Sheet-to-Doc supports up to &lt;strong&gt;10 rows per batch&lt;/strong&gt;. If you process small batches monthly — say a few dozen people — the free version will likely cover you.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But if you're generating 500 onboarding letters for campus recruiting, or hundreds of salary confirmations every pay cycle, the &lt;strong&gt;Pro version&lt;/strong&gt; is the way to go. No row limits, plus access to encryption, loop placeholders, and other advanced features.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Final Thoughts
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;HR work shouldn't be defined by endless copy-pasting. When you first cut 500 onboarding letters from 17 hours down to 5 minutes, you'll realize — all that time you've been wasting could be spent on the things that actually matter.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Start now:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="https://s.wtsolutions.cn/sheet-to-doc" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://s.wtsolutions.cn/sheet-to-doc&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Building a Complete Data Pipeline: Excel to JSON to Word Contracts, 1000 Documents in 10 Minutes</title>

  The Problem: How Do You Move One Excel Sheet Through Three Systems?
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Many companies run their business like this:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The sales team records client details and contract terms in Excel&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The backend system needs JSON data to integrate with the CRM&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The legal team needs to generate formal Word contracts from those same terms&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The traditional approach: manually export three times, adjust formats individually. It's slow, error-prone, and nobody enjoys it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Let's show you how to build a complete automated pipeline using three WTSolutions tools — turning one Excel sheet into data flowing through three systems seamlessly.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  The Tool Stack
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;div class="table-wrapper-paragraph"&gt;&lt;table&gt;
&lt;thead&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Step&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Tool&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;What It Does&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Platforms&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Step 1&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Excel-to-JSON&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Excel spreadsheet → structured JSON&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Web / Excel Add-in / WPS Add-in / Local App&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Step 2&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Data Transfer&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Push JSON to backend API&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Any HTTP client&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Step 3&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;JSON-to-Excel&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;API response → Excel for review&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Web / Excel Add-in / WPS Add-in / Local App&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Step 4&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sheet-to-Doc&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Excel data → batch Word contracts&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Web / Excel Add-in / WPS Add-in / Local App&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Step 1: Excel-to-JSON — Turn Your Spreadsheet into API-Ready Data
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Imagine your sales team maintains a sheet like this:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="table-wrapper-paragraph"&gt;&lt;table&gt;
&lt;thead&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Client&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Product&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Quantity&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Unit_Price&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Total&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Contract_ID&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Shanghai ABC Corp&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Cloud Service A&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;50&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;2000&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;100000&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;CT-2026-001&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Beijing XYZ Group&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Cloud Service B&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;30&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;3500&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;105000&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;CT-2026-002&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;...&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;...&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;...&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;...&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;...&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;...&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Open this in &lt;strong&gt;Excel-to-JSON&lt;/strong&gt;, select "Flat Mode," and click Convert. In seconds, you get:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight json"&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"Client"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"Shanghai ABC Corp"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"Product"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"Cloud Service A"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"Quantity"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mi"&gt;50&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"Unit_Price"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mi"&gt;2000&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"Total"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mi"&gt;100000&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"Contract_ID"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"CT-2026-001"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;},&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"Client"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"Beijing XYZ Group"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"Product"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"Cloud Service B"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"Quantity"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mi"&gt;30&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"Unit_Price"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mi"&gt;3500&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"Total"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mi"&gt;105000&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"Contract_ID"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"CT-2026-002"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Push this JSON to your CRM or backend API via an HTTP POST request. If your system expects nested structures, switch to "Nested Mode" and set the delimiter to &lt;code&gt;.&lt;/code&gt; — the tool generates multi-level JSON automatically.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Available platforms:&lt;/strong&gt; Web app, Excel Add-in (Office 2013+/Office 365), WPS Add-in, REST API, MCP service, and local desktop application. No matter your environment, there's an entry point for you.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Step 2: JSON-to-Excel — Bring API Data Back into a Spreadsheet
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After your backend processes the data, you might need to bring results back into Excel for business colleagues to review or hand off to the next step.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;JSON-to-Excel&lt;/strong&gt; supports three input methods:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Paste&lt;/strong&gt; — Paste JSON text directly&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Upload&lt;/strong&gt; — Upload &lt;code&gt;.json&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code&gt;.jsonl&lt;/code&gt; files&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;URL Load&lt;/strong&gt; — Enter an API endpoint URL and let the tool fetch data automatically&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Customization options include:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Max nesting depth&lt;/strong&gt;: 1-20 levels or unlimited; deeper levels auto-convert to strings&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Empty value handling&lt;/strong&gt;: Empty string, null, or exclude&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Boolean format&lt;/strong&gt;: true/false, "true"/"false", or 1/0&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The output Excel file can be handed to a colleague or fed directly into Sheet-to-Doc.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Step 3: Sheet-to-Doc — Batch-Generate Word Contracts from Excel
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Now your Excel data needs to become formal contracts. This is exactly what &lt;strong&gt;Sheet-to-Doc&lt;/strong&gt; excels at.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Prepare a Word contract template with &lt;code&gt;{Client}&lt;/code&gt; &lt;code&gt;{Product}&lt;/code&gt; &lt;code&gt;{Total}&lt;/code&gt; as placeholders&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Open &lt;a href="https://s.wtsolutions.cn/sheet-to-doc" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Sheet-to-Doc&lt;/a&gt; and upload your template&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Paste your Excel data or upload the file&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Set filename rule: &lt;code&gt;Contract_{Client}_{Contract_ID}.docx&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Click "Generate"&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Within seconds, you get a ZIP file with Word contracts named by client. 1000 contracts? Same timeline — just a few minutes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Pro Tip: Loop Placeholders for Multi-Product Contracts
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If a single contract has multiple product line items, Sheet-to-Doc's &lt;strong&gt;Loop Placeholders&lt;/strong&gt; handle it elegantly:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;Contract: {Contract_ID}
Client: {Client}

Line Items:
{#products}
  - {Product_Name} × {Quantity} = {Subtotal}
{/products}

Total: {Total}
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Combined with nested-mode JSON from Excel-to-JSON, a single data row generates a contract with multiple itemized rows.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  The Full Pipeline: Before vs. After
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;div class="table-wrapper-paragraph"&gt;&lt;table&gt;
&lt;thead&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Task&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Manual Process&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Tool Pipeline&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Excel → JSON&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Manually format JSON&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;One-click, seconds&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;JSON → API&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Copy-paste into API docs&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;HTTP POST, automated&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;API → Excel&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Manually reorganize results&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;JSON-to-Excel, instant&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Excel → Word&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Copy-paste row by row&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Batch generate, thousands in minutes&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Total (1000 records)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;~8 hours&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;~10 minutes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Data Security Throughout the Pipeline
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All three tools support &lt;strong&gt;local processing&lt;/strong&gt; — data never leaves your device:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Excel-to-JSON&lt;/strong&gt;: Local desktop version runs fully offline&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;JSON-to-Excel&lt;/strong&gt;: Web version processes in-browser; local version works without internet&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Sheet-to-Doc&lt;/strong&gt;: Browser-side processing; desktop version adds offline + document encryption&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For sensitive data like contract amounts and client details, the local desktop versions are the safest choice.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Final Thoughts
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Excel, JSON, and Word — three data formats that most businesses handle every single day. Instead of having colleagues manually shuffle between them, string them into an automated pipeline.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Excel-to-JSON&lt;/strong&gt; gets data flowing. &lt;strong&gt;JSON-to-Excel&lt;/strong&gt; brings it back organized. &lt;strong&gt;Sheet-to-Doc&lt;/strong&gt; turns it into formal documents. Three tools, one pipeline, 1000 contracts, 10 minutes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Start now:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://s.wtsolutions.cn/sheet-to-doc-product.html" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Sheet-to-Doc&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

      <title>From 22 Hours of Overtime to Leaving Work on Time Every Day</title>
      <dc:creator>WTSolutions</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Fri, 07 Aug 2026 07:07:16 +0000</pubDate>

      <guid>https://dev.to/wtsolutions/from-22-hours-of-overtime-to-leaving-work-on-time-every-day-1ie7</guid>
      <description>&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  2025 Me: The Person Who Worked 8 Extra Hours Every Week
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Let me tell you what my work life used to look like.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'm an admin manager at a mid-size manufacturing company, responsible for contract management, certificate issuance, and internal document workflows. Sounds office-y, right? In reality, it was almost entirely manual labor.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Every Friday afternoon, I'd receive the same batch of tasks:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;30 supplier contracts&lt;/strong&gt;: Fill in supplier names, amounts, and terms from the procurement team's Excel sheet into our Word template&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;50 internal transfer letters&lt;/strong&gt;: HR gives me a roster, and I generate each transfer notice one by one&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;100 training attendance confirmations&lt;/strong&gt;: After each training session, fill the attendance data into confirmation letters for each department&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The method: copy, paste, change value, save. Repeat for every single row.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I did the math:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="table-wrapper-paragraph"&gt;&lt;table&gt;
&lt;thead&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Task&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Volume&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Per-Item Time&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Total&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Supplier Contracts&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;30&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;15 min&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;7.5 hours&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Transfer Letters&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;50&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;8 min&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;6.7 hours&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Training Confirmations&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;100&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;5 min&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;8.3 hours&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Total&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;180 docs&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;—&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;22.5 hours&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Every Friday, I'd work until 10 PM or later. After three months of this, I started questioning whether admin work was just supposed to be endless copy-pasting.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  2026 Me: Leaving the Office at 6 PM Sharp
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The change happened when I discovered &lt;strong&gt;Sheet-to-Doc&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;My first time using it, I expected another piece of complicated software. Instead, the actual experience was:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Open the website&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Upload my Word contract template (just replace variable fields with &lt;code&gt;{placeholders}&lt;/code&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Paste the Excel data&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Click "Generate"&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;30 supplier contracts? 3 minutes. 50 transfer letters? 2 minutes. 100 training confirmations? 4 minutes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That Friday, I finished everything by 5:30 PM and left at 6:00 PM sharp.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The comparison:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="table-wrapper-paragraph"&gt;&lt;table&gt;
&lt;thead&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Metric&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Before (2025)&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;After (2026)&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Weekly doc generation time&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;22.5 hours&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;9 minutes&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Overtime frequency&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;5 days/week&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Almost never&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Error rate&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;~5-8 per month&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Zero&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Friday departure time&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;10:00 PM&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;6:00 PM&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  But the Real Change Went Beyond Saving Time
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Saving time was just the surface-level win. What truly made me think "this was worth it" were these things.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  1. No More Getting Yelled At for Typos
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When you copy-paste manually, mistakes happen. Wrong row, wrong column, wrong value. Contract amounts mistyped, names misspelled, positions swapped — these errors weren't frequent, but the consequences were serious.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Once I typed "12 billion" instead of "120,000" on a contract. Finance caught it during review, but my director still called me in for a serious talk. With the tool, data comes straight from Excel — there's no "reading the wrong row" problem.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  2. File Naming Finally Makes Sense
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Before, every generated file was named "New Document 1.docx," "New Document 2.docx"... Organizing them was a nightmare. Now I set a naming formula: &lt;code&gt;Contract_{Supplier}_{Contract_ID}.docx&lt;/code&gt;. Files come out perfectly organized — no more half-hour renaming sessions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  3. My Data Never Leaves My Computer
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The contracts I handle contain sensitive company information. At first, I was worried about "will an online tool leak my data?" Once I learned that Sheet-to-Doc processes everything locally in my browser — data never uploads to any server — I felt at ease. And for even higher security, there's a fully offline desktop version.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  The Moments That Used to Be "Not Worth the Overtime"
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Before writing this, I tracked my week:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Monday&lt;/strong&gt;: 30 supplier contracts in 9 minutes → used the rest of the time to optimize our contract approval workflow&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Tuesday&lt;/strong&gt;: 50 transfer letters in 2 minutes → spent the extra time learning the new HR system&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Wednesday&lt;/strong&gt;: 80 training confirmations in 4 minutes → organized a year's worth of contract archives&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Thursday&lt;/strong&gt;: 120 salary confirmations in 6 minutes → trained a new team member on the tool&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Friday&lt;/strong&gt;: Weekly report + next week's plan → left at 6:00 PM&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Those 22 hours I used to spend on Friday nights? I'm now doing things I "never had time to think about":&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Optimizing department workflows&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Learning new systems&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Training my team&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Even having dinner with my family on time&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  If You're Considering Switching
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;My advice is simple: &lt;strong&gt;try it and see&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sheet-to-Doc's free version supports up to 10 rows of data — enough to verify whether it fits your workflow. If it works, upgrading to Pro costs just a few dollars. Compared to the 22 hours you gain every week, it's a no-brainer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Stop spending your best hours on the most mechanical work.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Try it now:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="https://s.wtsolutions.cn/sheet-to-doc" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://s.wtsolutions.cn/sheet-to-doc&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;In daily data processing work, JSON has become the universal standard for data exchange. However, when we need to analyze, filter, edit, or share JSON data, converting it to a tabular format like Excel or CSV is often the most practical approach. WPS Office, one of the most popular office suites worldwide, offers a great environment for working with tabular data. Many users want to directly convert JSON to tables within WPS.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This comprehensive guide will walk you through using the &lt;strong&gt;WTSolutions JSON-to-Excel WPS Add-in&lt;/strong&gt; to effortlessly convert JSON to tables in WPS Office — including JSON to Excel, JSON to CSV, and how to open and process JSON files.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Why Convert JSON to Tables?
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;JSON format is widely used for its simple structure and excellent readability in Web APIs, mobile applications, and data storage. But in practice, we often need to convert JSON data to tabular formats to:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Analyze and visualize data&lt;/strong&gt;: Use WPS spreadsheet features for sorting, filtering, and charting&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Generate financial reports&lt;/strong&gt;: Transform JSON financial data into standard Excel reports&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Migrate and share data&lt;/strong&gt;: Deliver JSON data in tabular format to non-technical stakeholders&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Process batches&lt;/strong&gt;: Handle multiple JSON files at once for improved efficiency&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Export to CSV&lt;/strong&gt;: Convert JSON to CSV format for compatibility with more applications&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Installation Steps
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Getting the WPS add-in requires a side-load operation:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Visit the official release page: &lt;a href="https://json-to-wps-workbook.wtsolutions.cn/publish.html" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://json-to-wps-workbook.wtsolutions.cn/publish.html&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Video Tutorial
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Watch the video below for a quick overview of the add-in installation process:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Video guide available in Simplified Chinese on the official page&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Step 2: How to Open and Convert JSON Files in WPS
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After installing the add-in, you can convert JSON data to WPS tables through three methods:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Method 1: Copy &amp;amp; Paste JSON Data
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is the simplest and fastest approach, ideal for single medium-sized JSON datasets:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Prepare JSON data&lt;/strong&gt;: Ensure your JSON data follows the correct format (array or object structure)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Open WPS Spreadsheet&lt;/strong&gt;: Create a new blank WPS spreadsheet document&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Launch Add-in&lt;/strong&gt;: Click the JSON-to-Excel button in WPS&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Paste Data&lt;/strong&gt;: Copy and paste your JSON data into the add-in's text area&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Configure Conversion Settings&lt;/strong&gt; (optional):

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Select conversion mode: &lt;strong&gt;Flat&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;Nested&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Set delimiter (nested mode): Dot &lt;code&gt;.&lt;/code&gt;, Underscore &lt;code&gt;_&lt;/code&gt;, Double Underscore &lt;code&gt;__&lt;/code&gt;, or Forward Slash &lt;code&gt;/&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Set max nesting depth (1-20, default: unlimited)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Click "Go" Button&lt;/strong&gt;: Wait for conversion to complete&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;View Results&lt;/strong&gt;: After conversion, you'll see a new sheet in WPS containing the converted data&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Method 2: Load Local JSON Files
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ideal for larger JSON files or batch conversion:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Prepare JSON Files&lt;/strong&gt;: Save your JSON data as &lt;code&gt;.json&lt;/code&gt; files&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Open Add-in&lt;/strong&gt;: Launch the JSON-to-Excel add-in in WPS&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Select Files&lt;/strong&gt;: Click the "Load JSON File(s)" button and select one or more JSON files from your computer&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Batch Processing&lt;/strong&gt;: Load up to &lt;strong&gt;20&lt;/strong&gt; JSON files at once for batch conversion&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Click "Go" Button&lt;/strong&gt;: All selected files will be converted sequentially&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;View Report&lt;/strong&gt;: After conversion, a report is generated including:

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Filename&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Conversion result (success/failure)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Corresponding sheet name&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Error message (if any)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Method 3: Load JSON Files from URL
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ideal for JSON data stored on remote servers:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Prepare JSON URL&lt;/strong&gt;: Ensure the JSON file is accessible via a public URL&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Open Add-in&lt;/strong&gt;: Launch the JSON-to-Excel add-in in WPS&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Enter URL&lt;/strong&gt;: Fill in the URL of the JSON file in the URL input field&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Batch Processing&lt;/strong&gt;: Load up to &lt;strong&gt;20&lt;/strong&gt; URLs at once&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Click "Go" Button&lt;/strong&gt;: The add-in will automatically download and convert the data&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Conversion Modes Explained
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Flat Mode
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Suitable for simple JSON objects where all properties map directly to columns:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Input JSON:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight json"&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"name"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"John"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"age"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mi"&gt;25&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"occupation"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"Engineer"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;},&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"name"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"Alice"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"age"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mi"&gt;30&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"occupation"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"Designer"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;},&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"name"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"Bob"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"age"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mi"&gt;28&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"occupation"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"Product Manager"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Output Table:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="table-wrapper-paragraph"&gt;&lt;table&gt;
&lt;thead&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;th&gt;name&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;age&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;occupation&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;John&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;25&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Engineer&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Alice&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;30&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Designer&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Bob&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;28&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Product Manager&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Nested Mode
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Suitable for JSON with nested structures, automatically expanding nested properties into multi-level columns:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Input JSON:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight json"&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"id"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mi"&gt;1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"student"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
      &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"name"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"Mike"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
      &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"familyname"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"Smith"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
      &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"age"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mi"&gt;12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;},&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"id"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mi"&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"student"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
      &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"name"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"Emma"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
      &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"familyname"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"Johnson"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
      &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"age"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mi"&gt;15&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Output with Different Delimiters:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dot (.) Delimiter:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="table-wrapper-paragraph"&gt;&lt;table&gt;
&lt;thead&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;th&gt;id&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;student.name&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;student.familyname&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;student.age&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;1&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Mike&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Smith&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;12&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;2&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Emma&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Johnson&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;15&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Underscore (_) Delimiter:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="table-wrapper-paragraph"&gt;&lt;table&gt;
&lt;thead&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;th&gt;id&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;student_name&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;student_familyname&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;student_age&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;1&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Mike&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Smith&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;12&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;2&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Emma&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Johnson&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;15&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Max Nesting Depth Setting
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When JSON contains multiple levels of nesting, you can set the max nesting depth to control conversion behavior. Nested objects exceeding the max depth will be converted to strings.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  How to Convert JSON to CSV
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The JSON-to-Excel WPS add-in's core functionality converts JSON to WPS spreadsheets (.xlsx format). If you need CSV format, you can achieve it through these methods:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Method 1: Save As CSV in WPS
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Convert JSON to WPS spreadsheet using the add-in&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In WPS, click &lt;strong&gt;File → Save As&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Select &lt;strong&gt;CSV File (*.csv)&lt;/strong&gt; as the save type&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Click Save&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Method 2: Use the Web App
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you don't need to edit data in WPS, use the &lt;a href="https://s.wtsolutions.cn/json-to-excel.html" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;JSON-to-Excel Web App&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Open the web app&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Paste JSON data or upload JSON files&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Select conversion settings&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Click "Go" button&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;After conversion, click "Download" to get the Excel file&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Open the downloaded Excel file in WPS and save as CSV&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Supported Data Types
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;JSON-to-Excel supports the following JSON data type conversions:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="table-wrapper-paragraph"&gt;&lt;table&gt;

&lt;th&gt;Example&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;WPS Table Output&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;String&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;code&gt;"text"&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Number&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Numeric value&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Boolean&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;
&lt;code&gt;true&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;false&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Text "true"/"false"&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Null&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;code&gt;null&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Blank cell&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Array&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;code&gt;[1, 2, 3]&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Converted to string "[1,2,3]"&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Object&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;code&gt;{"x": 1}&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Flat mode → string; Nested mode → expanded&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Real-World Use Cases
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Scenario 1: API Data Export
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;JSON data from Web APIs typically needs conversion to tables for analysis:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight json"&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"status"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"success"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"data"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"product"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"Laptop"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"price"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mi"&gt;999&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"stock"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mi"&gt;150&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;},&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"product"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"Wireless Mouse"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"price"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mi"&gt;15&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"stock"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mi"&gt;2000&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;},&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"product"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"Mechanical Keyboard"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"price"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mi"&gt;89&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"stock"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mi"&gt;500&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Simply extract the &lt;code&gt;data&lt;/code&gt; array and paste it into the add-in to quickly generate a product inventory table.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Scenario 2: Log Data Processing
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Server logs are typically stored in JSON format. The add-in can quickly convert them to tables for troubleshooting and analysis.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Scenario 3: Batch Data Consolidation
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When you need to process multiple JSON files and merge them into a single Excel workbook, the batch processing feature greatly improves efficiency.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Free vs. Pro Version
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;div class="table-wrapper-paragraph"&gt;&lt;table&gt;
&lt;thead&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Feature&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Free&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Pro&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Max rows per conversion&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;6 rows&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Unlimited&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;All advanced features&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;✅&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;✅&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Batch processing (local files)&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;✅&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;✅&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Batch processing (URL)&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;✅&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;✅&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Multiple delimiters&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;✅&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;✅&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Custom max nesting depth&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;✅&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;✅&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Ads displayed&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Yes&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No ads&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;💡 Pro subscription applies to both JSON-to-Excel and Excel-to-JSON tools!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Frequently Asked Questions
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Q1: What format should my JSON data be in?
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;JSON data can be in either of these formats:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Array of objects&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;code&gt;[{"key": "value"}, {"key": "value"}]&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Single object&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;code&gt;{"key1": "value1", "key2": "value2"}&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Each object supports up to 100 properties, and arrays support up to 1000 objects.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Q2: Can I edit the converted table data?
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Absolutely! The converted data is regular WPS spreadsheet data, so you can perform any editing operation including formatting, adding formulas, creating charts, etc.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Q3: What size JSON files are supported?
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Each conversion supports up to 1000 rows and 100 columns. For larger datasets, consider using the API or MCP service for batch processing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Q4: Is my data safe?
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When using the WPS add-in, your data is processed directly within WPS without being uploaded to servers. For offline users, the &lt;a href="https://json-to-excel.wtsolutions.cn/en/latest/LocalApp.html" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Local App version&lt;/a&gt; is also available.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Q5: How do I batch convert multiple JSON files?
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Click the "Load JSON File(s)" button in the add-in to select up to 20 JSON files for batch conversion. Each file will be converted to a separate sheet.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Summary
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The JSON-to-Excel WPS add-in provides WPS Office users with a complete solution for converting JSON to tables. Whether you need JSON to Excel or JSON to CSV, whether your JSON data is flat or has complex nested structures, this tool handles it all with ease.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>How to Import Geotagged Photos to Google Earth: A Step-by-Step Guide</title>
      <dc:creator>WTSolutions</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Wed, 05 Aug 2026 11:56:06 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/wtsolutions/how-to-import-geotagged-photos-to-google-earth-a-step-by-step-guide-1o00</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/wtsolutions/how-to-import-geotagged-photos-to-google-earth-a-step-by-step-guide-1o00</guid>
      <description>&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  The Question Every Geo-Photographer Asks
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You have a folder of photos taken with your phone or camera. Each one carries GPS coordinates hidden inside its metadata. You want those photos to appear on Google Earth — pinned at the exact spot where each was taken — so you can relive a trip, document a site, or share a location-aware story with someone else.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The problem: Google Earth has no built-in "import my photos and place them automatically" button that handles batches of geotagged images gracefully. Doing it photo by photo, manually entering coordinates, is impractical for any real collection.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This guide shows you how to &lt;strong&gt;import geotagged photos to Google Earth&lt;/strong&gt; in minutes using the free WTSolutions "Images to Google Earth/Ovi Maps" tool — covering single photos, batch imports, and the common pitfalls that cause photos not to appear.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What You Need Before You Start
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  1. Photos that contain GPS data
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A "geotagged photo" is a JPEG whose EXIF metadata includes latitude, longitude, and (usually) altitude. Most smartphones write this automatically when location services are on.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Quick check&lt;/strong&gt;: On macOS, open the photo in Preview → Tools → Show Inspector (⌘I) → GPS tab. On Windows, right-click → Properties → Details → scroll to GPS. If you see coordinates, you're ready. If not, see our &lt;a href="https://s.wtsolutions.cn/gps.html" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Photo Geotagging Best Practices guide&lt;/a&gt; — photos without GPS cannot be placed on the map.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  2. Google Earth installed
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Download the free Google Earth app from &lt;a href="https://earth.google.com" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;earth.google.com&lt;/a&gt; for desktop (Windows/Mac/Linux).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  3. The Images to Google Earth tool
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Open it in any modern browser: &lt;a href="https://s.wtsolutions.cn/gps.html" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://s.wtsolutions.cn/gps.html&lt;/a&gt;. No installation required for the online version; a desktop offline version is also available for Windows, Mac, and Linux.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  How to Add Geotagged Photos in Google Earth: The Complete Workflow
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Step 1: Open the tool and set the language
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Go to &lt;a href="https://s.wtsolutions.cn/gps.html" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://s.wtsolutions.cn/gps.html&lt;/a&gt;. Click the &lt;strong&gt;English&lt;/strong&gt; button in the top-right language switcher if the interface is in Chinese. The page loads with the photo drop zone ready.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Step 2: Import your geotagged photos
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to import a single photo with GPS location:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Drag one JPG/JPEG file from your file explorer into the dashed drop zone, or&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Click the &lt;strong&gt;Select Images&lt;/strong&gt; button and choose one file&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to import geotagged photos in batch:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Drag multiple photos (or an entire folder selection) into the drop zone at once, or&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Click &lt;strong&gt;Select Images&lt;/strong&gt; and pick several files in the file dialog&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The tool immediately reads each photo's EXIF data — extracting GPS coordinates, altitude, and capture timestamp. The free version handles up to 6 photos per batch; a Pro Code unlocks unlimited imports for larger collections.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Format note&lt;/strong&gt;: JPG and JPEG are fully supported. Photos shared through messaging apps (WeChat, WhatsApp, email attachments) often have their EXIF GPS stripped during compression — always work from originals transferred via USB, SD card, AirDrop, or cloud storage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Step 3: Configure Map Settings
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Click the &lt;strong&gt;Download KMZ File&lt;/strong&gt; button to open Map Settings. For importing to Google Earth, set:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Map Service Provider&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;strong&gt;Google Earth&lt;/strong&gt; (this embeds photos inside the KMZ so the file is fully portable and shareable)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Icon Style&lt;/strong&gt;: pick any — &lt;strong&gt;Camera&lt;/strong&gt; is a good default that communicates "photo location"&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Image Display Width&lt;/strong&gt;: 600 px (default) for general use; raise to 1000–1500 px for presentations; lower to 300–400 px for large batches&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Close the settings. No path configuration is needed for Google Earth — unlike Ovi Maps, which requires a local image path.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Step 4: Export to KMZ
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After the photos are loaded and processed, find the &lt;strong&gt;Data Export&lt;/strong&gt; section below the drop zone. Click &lt;strong&gt;Export to Image KMZ File&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The tool generates a &lt;code&gt;.kmz&lt;/code&gt; file — a compressed KML archive with your photos embedded inside. This single file contains everything Google Earth needs: the coordinates, the photo images, the icons, and the styling.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A browser download prompt appears; save the KMZ to a location you'll remember.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Step 5: Open the KMZ in Google Earth
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;On desktop:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Double-click the &lt;code&gt;.kmz&lt;/code&gt; file — Google Earth opens it automatically if it's your default for that extension, or&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Open Google Earth → File → Open → select the KMZ file&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Step 6: Explore your photos on the globe
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Google Earth flies to the location of your first photo. You'll see a pin for every imported photo at its exact GPS coordinates. Click any pin to open its photo popup. Drone photos taken at altitude appear as floating pins at their true height — striking in 3D view.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Use the scroll wheel or pinch to zoom, tilt, and rotate. Your photos now live on the globe, each in its rightful place.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  That's It — You've Imported Geotagged Photos to Google Earth
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The entire workflow from photo folder to globe-pinned map typically takes under a minute for a batch of photos. No manual coordinate entry, no scripting, no GIS expertise required.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Importing Geotagged Photos to Google Earth: Common Questions
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Why don't my photos show up on the map after import?
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is the most common issue, and it almost always means the photos lack GPS data. Causes:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Photos were shared via messaging or social apps&lt;/strong&gt; — these strip EXIF metadata. Re-transfer the originals via USB, SD card, AirDrop, or cloud.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Location services were off when the photo was taken&lt;/strong&gt; — check your camera app's location/GPS toggle.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Photos were edited or exported through software that strips EXIF&lt;/strong&gt; — some editors remove metadata by default.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fix&lt;/strong&gt;: Verify GPS data exists (see the "Quick check" above), then re-import the originals. The tool silently skips photos with no GPS — they won't appear in the KMZ.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Can I import geotagged photos to Google Earth without any software?
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Not for batches. Google Earth can display a single photo via its built-in "Image Overlay" tool, but placing it at the correct GPS coordinates requires manual entry — and repeating that for dozens of photos is impractical. The WTSolutions tool automates the entire batch by reading EXIF data and writing the coordinates into a KMZ for you.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  How do I add a photo to a specific GPS location in Google Earth?
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If your photo already has GPS in its EXIF, the tool places it automatically — no manual coordinates needed. If the photo has no GPS, you can:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Use a companion GPS editor to write the coordinates into the photo's EXIF first&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Re-import the photo with the tool — it will then pin to the location you set&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  What image formats can I import?
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;JPG and JPEG are fully supported, which covers the vast majority of phone and camera photos. PNG files are not the primary target; convert them to JPEG if needed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  How many photos can I import at once?
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Free version&lt;/strong&gt;: up to 6 photos per batch&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Pro version&lt;/strong&gt;: unlimited — suitable for trip archives, drone surveys, and large documentation projects&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You can run multiple free batches and merge the resulting KMZ files in Google Earth (open them all at once, then save the combined view).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Does the tool upload my photos to a server?
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No. All processing happens locally in your browser (or on your computer if you use the desktop version). Your photos never leave your device. The exported KMZ for Google Earth embeds copies of the photos at the display width you chose — the originals remain untouched.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Can I share the imported map with someone else?
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Yes — this is one of the main advantages of the Google Earth export.  Email kmz along with images, put it on a USB stick, or upload it to cloud storage. Anyone who opens it in Google Earth sees all your photos in place .&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Why are some pins in the wrong location?
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;GPS accuracy depends on the capturing device. Indoors, in canyons, or under dense tree cover, the GPS fix can drift. Drone photos and outdoor phone photos are usually accurate to a few meters; indoor photos may be off by tens of meters. For the trajectory export, capture-time ordering also depends on the camera clock being set correctly. If you would like to manually modify the coordinates, you can do so with Images-GPS-editor at &lt;a href="https://s.wtsolutions.cn/image-gps-editor.html" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://s.wtsolutions.cn/image-gps-editor.html&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Tips for a Better Import
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Organize photos before importing
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Name files meaningfully (&lt;code&gt;2026-07-trip-paris-001.jpg&lt;/code&gt;) — the filename becomes the pin's label in Google Earth. A consistent naming convention makes a large map navigable.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Use the right icon for your context
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Camera&lt;/strong&gt;: general photo documentation&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Yellow Pushpin&lt;/strong&gt;: high-visibility, presentations&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Green Circle&lt;/strong&gt;: dense batches where minimal visual weight matters&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Pink Blank&lt;/strong&gt;: contrast against green/natural backgrounds&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Export a CSV alongside the KMZ
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The CSV export gives you one row per photo (filename, latitude, longitude, altitude) — perfect for a backup record, spreadsheet analysis, or importing into other GIS tools later.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Re-import with different settings anytime
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Because processing is instant and local, you can change the icon or image width and re-export the same batch as many times as you like. Try the default 600 px first; bump it up if a photo needs more detail.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Combine multiple trips into one map
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Import each trip separately, export a KMZ for each, then open all the KMZ files in Google Earth at once. They layer automatically into a single multi-trip atlas. Save the combined view (File → Save Place As) to create one master KMZ.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Going Further: Beyond a Single Import
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Once you've mastered the basic import, the same tool supports more advanced workflows:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Trajectory export&lt;/strong&gt;: connects your photos' GPS points in chronological order — perfect for hiking routes, road trips, and drone flight paths&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;GeoJSON export&lt;/strong&gt;: feeds your photo locations into GIS software like QGIS or ArcGIS for spatial analysis&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Ovi Maps export&lt;/strong&gt;: produces a KMZ optimized for teams using Ovi Maps (奥维地图) instead of Google Earth&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Offline desktop version&lt;/strong&gt;: runs without internet — ideal for fieldwork in remote areas&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Each of these starts from the same drag-and-drop import described above; only the export step changes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Conclusion
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Importing geotagged photos to Google Earth doesn't have to involve manual coordinate entry or complicated GIS software. The WTSolutions Images to Google Earth tool reads the GPS already embedded in your photos and generates a ready-to-open KMZ in seconds — whether you're importing a single photo with a GPS location or a batch of hundreds from a trip, survey, or drone flight.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The workflow is always the same: &lt;strong&gt;enable GPS when you shoot → transfer originals → drag into the tool → export KMZ → open in Google Earth&lt;/strong&gt;. Master these five steps and every photo you take from now on can live on the globe exactly where it belongs.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Images to Google Earth &amp; Ovi Maps: A Tool That Turns Your Images into an Interactive Map</title>
      <dc:creator>WTSolutions</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Tue, 04 Aug 2026 07:58:36 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/wtsolutions/images-to-google-earth-ovi-maps-a-tool-that-turns-your-images-into-an-interactive-map-39no</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/wtsolutions/images-to-google-earth-ovi-maps-a-tool-that-turns-your-images-into-an-interactive-map-39no</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Have you ever wondered if you could drop all your images onto a map and see where you've been — not just as a list of dates, but as actual pins scattered across the globe?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That's exactly what &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://s.wtsolutions.cn/gps.html" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Images to Google Earth / Ovi Maps&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; does. It reads the GPS data embedded in your photos' EXIF metadata, generates a &lt;strong&gt;KMZ file&lt;/strong&gt;, and lets you drop it into &lt;strong&gt;Google Earth&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;Ovi Interactive Maps&lt;/strong&gt; — instantly turning any collection of photos into an interactive, geolocated map.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Let's explore how this simple tool is being used across very different industries.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  How It Works — In 30 Seconds
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Open &lt;a href="https://s.wtsolutions.cn/gps.html" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://s.wtsolutions.cn/gps.html&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Choose your target map software: &lt;strong&gt;Google Earth&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;Ovi Maps&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Pick an icon style (camera, circle, pin, and more)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Drag and drop your photos onto the page&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Download the generated KMZ file and open it in your map software&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That's it. No account, no upload — &lt;strong&gt;all processing happens locally in your browser&lt;/strong&gt;, so your photos never leave your device.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Applications Across Industries
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  🏗️ Engineering &amp;amp; Surveying
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Surveyors and civil engineers take hundreds of site photos during a project. Instead of sorting them by date in a folder, they can import the KMZ into Google Earth to &lt;strong&gt;see every photo plotted at its exact GPS location&lt;/strong&gt; — making it trivial to verify coverage, spot gaps, and deliver a spatial record to the client.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  🌾 Agriculture &amp;amp; Land Management
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Farmers and agronomists regularly fly drones over fields to monitor crop health. By generating a KMZ from the aerial images, they can &lt;strong&gt;overlay the flight path directly on the terrain&lt;/strong&gt; and quickly identify which zones were photographed, compare different flights, and track changes over time.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  🏘️ Urban Planning &amp;amp; Real Estate
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;City planners and real estate agents use this tool to &lt;strong&gt;visualize building inspections, site surveys, and property photos on a map&lt;/strong&gt;. A real estate agent can drop a KMZ into Google Earth and walk a client through every photo of a neighborhood — each pin opening to the actual image.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  🛰️ Drone &amp;amp; Aerial Photography
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Drone operators use it as a &lt;strong&gt;flight debriefing tool&lt;/strong&gt;: after a flight, they generate a KMZ and see the entire flight path in 3D — revealing gaps, overlaps, and altitude changes that a flat photo gallery can't show.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  🧭 Travel &amp;amp; Adventure
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The simplest use case: travel. Take all the photos from a trip, generate one KMZ, and &lt;strong&gt;watch your journey unfold on the map&lt;/strong&gt;. Each pin is a moment. It's a visual diary of where you've been, far more engaging than a photo album.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  📰 News &amp;amp; Field Research
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Journalists and researchers on field assignments can create &lt;strong&gt;geo-referenced photo logs&lt;/strong&gt; — crucial for accuracy in reporting or research documentation. Knowing exactly where each photo was taken is non-negotiable in field science.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  A Simple Example: A Weekend Mountain Hike
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Let's walk through a real-world scenario step by step.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Situation:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
You just came back from a 2-day mountain hiking trip. You took about 80 photos along the trail. Now you want to visualize the route you actually walked, not just what your GPS watch recorded.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Step 1 — Prepare your images&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Make sure your phone or camera had GPS/location services enabled during the hike. Most modern devices do this by default. These images should contain GPS coordinates in their EXIF metadata.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Step 2 — Open the tool&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Go to &lt;a href="https://s.wtsolutions.cn/gps.html" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://s.wtsolutions.cn/gps.html&lt;/a&gt; in your browser.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Step 3 — Choose your map&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Select &lt;strong&gt;Google Earth&lt;/strong&gt; as your target. Pick a camera icon style for a visual look.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Step 4 — Drag and drop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Select all 80 hiking images and drag them onto the page. The tool reads the GPS data from each image's EXIF information.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Step 5 — Download and open&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Click download to get the KMZ file. Double-click it — it opens in Google Earth automatically.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Step 6 — See your route&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You'll see a series of pins along the mountain trail, each representing a image. You can:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Zoom in&lt;/strong&gt; on any pin to see the image preview;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Toggle the "Placemarks" folder&lt;/strong&gt; to show or hide all image markers at once;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Rotate the 3D view&lt;/strong&gt; to see how your route climbs and descends through the terrain.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That's it. In under two minutes, your weekend hike is now a 3D visual story on the globe.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;💡 &lt;strong&gt;Tip:&lt;/strong&gt; If you select &lt;strong&gt;Ovi Maps&lt;/strong&gt; instead, you'll also need to enter the local folder path where your photos are stored (e.g., &lt;code&gt;file:///Users/yourname/Pictures/hike/&lt;/code&gt;), so the map software can link to the actual image files on your disk.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Free vs. Pro
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;div class="table-wrapper-paragraph"&gt;&lt;table&gt;
&lt;thead&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Feature&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Free&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Pro&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Images per batch&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;6&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Unlimited&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;KMZ generation&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;✅&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;✅&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Custom image display size (20–3000 px)&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;✅&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;✅&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Export GPS data to CSV&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;✅&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;✅&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Multiple icon styles&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;✅&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;✅&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Google Earth + Ovi Maps support&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;✅&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;✅&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Cross-platform (Win / Mac / iOS / Linux / Android)&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;✅&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;✅&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For a casual trip or quick preview, the free version works great. If you're a professional handling large photo sets and need GPS data export, the Pro version is the way to go.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Key Takeaways
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Simple.&lt;/strong&gt; Drag, drop, done. No technical knowledge required.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Private.&lt;/strong&gt; Everything runs in your browser. No data ever leaves your device.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Versatile.&lt;/strong&gt; Used by drone pilots, surveyors, farmers, travelers, journalists, and real estate agents — anyone who takes geotagged photos.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Cross-platform.&lt;/strong&gt; Works on Windows, Mac, iOS, Linux, and Android.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you take images that matter — whether for work or life — try turning them into a map. You'll see your world from a whole new perspective.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Sheet-to-Doc Skill: Let AI Assistants Generate Word Documents for You</title>
      <dc:creator>WTSolutions</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Wed, 22 Jul 2026 01:50:16 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/wtsolutions/sheet-to-doc-skill-let-ai-assistants-generate-word-documents-for-you-586e</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/wtsolutions/sheet-to-doc-skill-let-ai-assistants-generate-word-documents-for-you-586e</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Do you frequently need to generate Word documents with the same format in your daily work? For example, batch-generating contracts, certificates, invitations, or reports. Manual copy-pasting is not only time-consuming but also prone to errors. Today, I'd like to introduce a powerful AI tool — &lt;strong&gt;Sheet-to-Doc Skill&lt;/strong&gt; — that lets you automatically generate documents through simple conversation with your AI assistant.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What is Sheet-to-Doc Skill?
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sheet-to-Doc Skill is a plugin designed specifically for AI assistants (such as Cursor, Claude, OpenClaw, and others). It helps AI understand how to work with Word templates and data, automatically generating professional Word documents.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Simply put, &lt;strong&gt;you only need to tell the AI what you want, and it will automatically complete the document generation for you&lt;/strong&gt;, without needing to learn complex commands or tools.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Core Features
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Document Generation&lt;/strong&gt;: Replace &lt;code&gt;{field}&lt;/code&gt; placeholders in Word templates with JSON data&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Placeholder Extraction&lt;/strong&gt;: Extract all placeholder keys from templates for data validation&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Footer Mark&lt;/strong&gt;: Automatically adds footer attribution to generated documents&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Cross-Platform&lt;/strong&gt;: Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Command Line Interface&lt;/strong&gt;: Easy to use via terminal&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;API Access&lt;/strong&gt;: Import as a module for programmatic use&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Why Use Sheet-to-Doc Skill?
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  1. Lower the Learning Curve
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Traditional tools require manual operation, while Sheet-to-Doc Skill lets the AI do the work for you. You just need to describe your needs in natural language, and the AI will execute automatically.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  2. Improve Work Efficiency
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Compress hours of manual work into minutes, giving you more time to focus on more important tasks.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  3. Reduce Human Errors
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Eliminate errors from manual copy-pasting and ensure 100% accuracy in generated documents.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  4. Integrate into AI Workflows
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Can be used in conjunction with other AI tools to achieve more complex automation processes.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  How to Install Sheet-to-Doc Skill
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Method 1: Install via OpenClaw
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you're using the OpenClaw AI platform, you can install it with the following commands:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight shell"&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="c"&gt;# First, install OpenClaw&lt;/span&gt;
npm &lt;span class="nb"&gt;install&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-g&lt;/span&gt; openclaw

&lt;span class="c"&gt;# Then install Sheet-to-Doc Skill&lt;/span&gt;
openclaw skills &lt;span class="nb"&gt;install&lt;/span&gt; @he-yang/sheet-to-doc-skill
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Method 2: Install via Skills CLI
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you're using other AI platforms that support Skills:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight shell"&gt;&lt;code&gt;npx skills add https://github.com/he-yang/sheet-to-doc-skill &lt;span class="nt"&gt;--skill&lt;/span&gt; sheet-to-doc-skill
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Once installed, your AI assistant will have document generation capabilities.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Quick Start: A Complete Usage Example
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Scenario: Batch Generate Employee Welcome Letters
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Let's say you need to generate personalized welcome letters for 50 new employees. Here's how to use Sheet-to-Doc Skill to complete this task.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Step 1: Prepare the Word Template
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Create a Word document with placeholders that need to be filled with data:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;Dear {name},

Welcome to {company}. Your position is {position}.

Your contact information:
- Email: {email}
- Phone: {phone}

Your start date is {start_date}. Please bring the required documents to the HR department on that day.

We look forward to working with you!

Best regards,
{company}
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Save this document as &lt;code&gt;welcome_letter.docx&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Step 2: Prepare Employee Data
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Create a JSON file containing all employee information:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight json"&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"name"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"John Doe"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"company"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"Example Tech Co., Ltd."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"position"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"Senior Software Engineer"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"email"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"john.doe@example.com"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"phone"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"+86 13800138000"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"start_date"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"August 1, 2026"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Save as &lt;code&gt;employee_data.json&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Step 3: Let AI Generate the Document
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Now, you only need to tell the AI:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"Please replace the data in the template &lt;code&gt;welcome_letter.docx&lt;/code&gt; with the content from &lt;code&gt;employee_data.json&lt;/code&gt;, and generate a new Word document &lt;code&gt;welcome_letter_output.docx&lt;/code&gt;."&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The AI will automatically execute the following steps:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Read the Word template&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Read the JSON data&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fill the template with the data&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Generate the new Word document&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Command Line Method
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you prefer using the command line, you can run:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight shell"&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="c"&gt;# Basic usage&lt;/span&gt;
node scripts/generate.js &lt;span class="se"&gt;\&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class="nt"&gt;--template&lt;/span&gt; welcome_letter.docx &lt;span class="se"&gt;\&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class="nt"&gt;--data&lt;/span&gt; employee_data.json &lt;span class="se"&gt;\&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class="nt"&gt;--output&lt;/span&gt; welcome_letter_output.docx

&lt;span class="c"&gt;# Using short parameters&lt;/span&gt;
node scripts/generate.js &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-t&lt;/span&gt; welcome_letter.docx &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-d&lt;/span&gt; employee_data.json &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-o&lt;/span&gt; welcome_letter_output.docx

&lt;span class="c"&gt;# Using JSON string directly&lt;/span&gt;
node scripts/generate.js &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-t&lt;/span&gt; template.docx &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-d&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="s1"&gt;'{"name":"John Doe","company":"Example Tech"}'&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-o&lt;/span&gt; output.docx
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;






&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Practical Scenarios and Examples
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Example 1: Generate Product Quotations
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Requirement&lt;/strong&gt;: Generate personalized product quotations for 100 clients.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Template Example&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;{company_name} Quotation

Client: {customer_name}
Date: {date}

Product: {product_name}
Quantity: {quantity}
Unit Price: {unit_price} USD
Total: {total_price} USD

Notes: {notes}

{company_name}
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Data Example&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight json"&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"company_name"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"Example Tech Co., Ltd."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"customer_name"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"Li Ming"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"date"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"July 22, 2026"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"product_name"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"Smart Office Equipment Kit"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"quantity"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mi"&gt;10&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"unit_price"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mi"&gt;5000&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"total_price"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mi"&gt;50000&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"notes"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"Installation and debugging service included"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Example 2: Generate Training Certificates
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Requirement&lt;/strong&gt;: Generate completion certificates for all trainees who attended a training course.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Template Example&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;Certificate of Completion

This is to certify that {student_name} has successfully completed the {course_name} training
held from {training_date} with excellent performance.

Instructor: {instructor_name}
Certificate No.: {certificate_number}

{company_name}
{date}
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Data Example&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight json"&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"student_name"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"Wang Xiaohong"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"training_date"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"July 1-10, 2026"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"course_name"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"Project Management Fundamentals Training"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"instructor_name"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"Prof. Chen"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"certificate_number"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"CERT-2026-001"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"company_name"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"Example Tech Co., Ltd."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"date"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"July 15, 2026"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Example 3: Generate Project Reports
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Requirement&lt;/strong&gt;: Generate standardized progress reports for multiple projects.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Template Example&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;Project Progress Report

Project Name: {project_name}
Project Manager: {manager_name}
Report Date: {report_date}

This Week's Work:
{weekly_summary}

Progress: {progress_percentage}%

Issues Encountered:
{issues}

Next Week's Plan:
{next_week_plan}

{manager_name}
{report_date}
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;






&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Data Validation: Extract Placeholders from Templates
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Before generating documents, you can check what placeholders exist in your template to ensure your data includes all required fields.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Command Line Method
&lt;/h3&gt;



&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight shell"&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="c"&gt;# Extract placeholders&lt;/span&gt;
node scripts/generate.js &lt;span class="nt"&gt;--extract-placeholders&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nt"&gt;--template&lt;/span&gt; welcome_letter.docx

&lt;span class="c"&gt;# Short version&lt;/span&gt;
node scripts/generate.js &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-e&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-t&lt;/span&gt; welcome_letter.docx
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Output example:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight json"&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"success"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="kc"&gt;true&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"placeholders"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"company"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"email"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"name"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"phone"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"start_date"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"position"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;],&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"count"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mi"&gt;6&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"message"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"Extracted 6 placeholder(s) from template"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Query via AI
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You can also simply ask the AI:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"Please check what placeholders are in the template &lt;code&gt;welcome_letter.docx&lt;/code&gt;? What data do I need to prepare?"&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The AI will automatically execute the extraction and tell you the required fields.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Advanced Usage
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  API Call
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you need to integrate document generation into your code:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight javascript"&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="k"&gt;import&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="p"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;generateDocument&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;extractPlaceholders&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="p"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="k"&gt;from&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;./scripts/generate.js&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class="c1"&gt;// Generate document&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="kd"&gt;const&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;result&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nf"&gt;generateDocument&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;template.docx&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class="p"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="na"&gt;name&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;John Doe&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="na"&gt;company&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;Example Tech&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="p"&gt;},&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;output.docx&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="p"&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class="nx"&gt;console&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nf"&gt;log&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;`Document generated: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;${&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;result&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;`&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class="c1"&gt;// Extract placeholders&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="kd"&gt;const&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;placeholders&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nf"&gt;extractPlaceholders&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;template.docx&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="nx"&gt;console&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nf"&gt;log&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;Required fields:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;placeholders&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class="c1"&gt;// Validate data completeness&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="kd"&gt;const&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;data&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="p"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="na"&gt;name&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;John&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="na"&gt;company&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;Example&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="p"&gt;};&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="kd"&gt;const&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;missingFields&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;placeholders&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nf"&gt;filter&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;field&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;data&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nf"&gt;hasOwnProperty&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;field&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;));&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class="k"&gt;if &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;missingFields&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;length&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="mi"&gt;0&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="p"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class="nx"&gt;console&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nf"&gt;error&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;Missing fields:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;missingFields&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="p"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;






&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Frequently Asked Questions
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Q: What's the difference between Sheet-to-Doc Skill and the full Sheet-to-Doc?
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sheet-to-Doc Skill is a simplified version focused on AI integration scenarios. The full Sheet-to-Doc supports additional features, including:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Batch document generation (each row generates an independent document)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Multiple data sources: Excel, CSV, JSONL&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Image insertion: &lt;code&gt;{image|_inline_image}&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;QR code generation: &lt;code&gt;{url|_qrcode}&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Conditional logic: &lt;code&gt;{field==value}&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Loop processing: &lt;code&gt;{#data}{/data}&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Document encryption&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Remove footer attribution&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Q: Do I need Node.js?
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Yes, Sheet-to-Doc Skill requires Node.js 18 or higher. If you're already running AI tools, you typically don't need to install anything extra.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Q: Are generated documents watermarked?
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The simplified version adds a footer attribution to generated documents, indicating the source. This respects the product author. If you need to remove the attribution, you can upgrade to the full version of Sheet-to-Doc.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Summary
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sheet-to-Doc Skill is a powerful AI tool that helps you easily automate Word document generation.

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Quick Start
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  1. Create a Word Template
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Create a &lt;code&gt;.docx&lt;/code&gt; file with &lt;code&gt;{field}&lt;/code&gt; format placeholders:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;Dear {name},

Welcome to {company}. Your position is {position}.

Email: {email}
Phone: {phone}
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  2. Prepare JSON Data
&lt;/h3&gt;



&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight json"&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"name"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"John Doe"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"company"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"Example Tech Co., Ltd."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"position"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"Senior Engineer"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"email"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"john.doe@example.com"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"phone"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"+86 13800138000"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  3. Generate Document
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;
  
  
  Using Command Line
&lt;/h4&gt;



&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight shell"&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="c"&gt;# Basic usage&lt;/span&gt;
node scripts/generate.js &lt;span class="se"&gt;\&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class="nt"&gt;--template&lt;/span&gt; template.docx &lt;span class="se"&gt;\&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class="nt"&gt;--data&lt;/span&gt; data.json &lt;span class="se"&gt;\&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class="nt"&gt;--output&lt;/span&gt; output.docx

&lt;span class="c"&gt;# Using short parameters&lt;/span&gt;
node scripts/generate.js &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-t&lt;/span&gt; template.docx &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-d&lt;/span&gt; data.json &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-o&lt;/span&gt; output.docx

&lt;span class="c"&gt;# Using JSON string directly&lt;/span&gt;
node scripts/generate.js &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-t&lt;/span&gt; template.docx &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-d&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="s1"&gt;'{"name":"John","company":"Example"}'&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-o&lt;/span&gt; output.docx
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;h4&gt;
  
  
  Using API
&lt;/h4&gt;



&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight javascript"&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="k"&gt;import&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="p"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;generateDocument&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="p"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="k"&gt;from&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;./scripts/generate.js&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class="kd"&gt;const&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;result&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nf"&gt;generateDocument&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;template.docx&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class="p"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;name&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;John Doe&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;company&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;Example Tech&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="p"&gt;},&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;output.docx&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="p"&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class="nx"&gt;console&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nf"&gt;log&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;`Document generated: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;${&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;result&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;`&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Placeholder Extraction
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Extract required placeholders from a template to validate your data:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight shell"&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="c"&gt;# Extract placeholders&lt;/span&gt;
node scripts/generate.js &lt;span class="nt"&gt;--extract-placeholders&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nt"&gt;--template&lt;/span&gt; template.docx

&lt;span class="c"&gt;# Short version&lt;/span&gt;
node scripts/generate.js &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-e&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-t&lt;/span&gt; template.docx
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Output:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight json"&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"success"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="kc"&gt;true&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"placeholders"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"company"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"email"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"name"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"phone"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"position"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;],&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"count"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mi"&gt;5&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"message"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"Extracted 5 placeholder(s) from template"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  API Usage
&lt;/h3&gt;



&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight javascript"&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="k"&gt;import&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="p"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;extractPlaceholders&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="p"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="k"&gt;from&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;./scripts/generate.js&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class="kd"&gt;const&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;placeholders&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nf"&gt;extractPlaceholders&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;template.docx&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="nx"&gt;console&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nf"&gt;log&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;Required fields:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;placeholders&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class="c1"&gt;// Validate data completeness&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="kd"&gt;const&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;data&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="p"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="dl"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;name&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="dl"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;John&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="dl"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;company&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="dl"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;Example&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="p"&gt;};&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="kd"&gt;const&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;missingFields&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;placeholders&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nf"&gt;filter&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;field&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;data&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nf"&gt;hasOwnProperty&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;field&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;));&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class="p"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Command Line Options
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;div class="table-wrapper-paragraph"&gt;&lt;table&gt;
&lt;thead&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Option&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Short&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Description&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;

&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;--data&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;-d&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;JSON data file path or JSON string&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;--output&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;-o&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Project Structure
&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;

├── SKILL.md              # Skill metadata and documentation for AI Agents

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Debugging
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When document generation fails, use the placeholder extraction feature to debug:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight javascript"&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="k"&gt;import&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="p"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;extractPlaceholders&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="p"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="k"&gt;from&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;./scripts/generate.js&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class="c1"&gt;// Step 1: Extract placeholders from template&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="kd"&gt;const&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;templatePlaceholders&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nf"&gt;extractPlaceholders&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;template.docx&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class="c1"&gt;// Step 2: Compare with your data keys&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="kd"&gt;const&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;dataKeys&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nb"&gt;Object&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nf"&gt;keys&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;yourData&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class="c1"&gt;// Step 3: Find mismatches&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="kd"&gt;const&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;missingInData&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;templatePlaceholders&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nf"&gt;filter&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;p&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;dataKeys&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nf"&gt;includes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;p&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;));&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="kd"&gt;const&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;extraInData&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;dataKeys&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nf"&gt;filter&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;k&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;templatePlaceholders&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nf"&gt;includes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;k&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;));&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class="nx"&gt;console&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nf"&gt;log&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;Missing keys:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;missingInData&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="nx"&gt;console&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nf"&gt;log&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;Extra keys:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="dl"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;extraInData&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;);&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

      <title>The Photos I Almost Forgot: How I Found My Way on a Map</title>
      <dc:creator>WTSolutions</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Mon, 20 Jul 2026 07:09:53 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/wtsolutions/the-photos-i-almost-forgot-how-i-found-my-way-on-a-map-38nl</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/wtsolutions/the-photos-i-almost-forgot-how-i-found-my-way-on-a-map-38nl</guid>
      <description>&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  The Map Hiding in My Photo Album
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;My phone has nearly 10,000 photos—most of them from trips over the years. But honestly, they just sit there quietly in folders. I scroll through them occasionally, take a look, and move on.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The moment that made me start thinking about this was last year, when a friend asked: "What good photos did you take in Kyoto during your last trip to Japan?"&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I searched for a while and only found a few blurry screenshots. With so many photos, I couldn't even remember where I shot them or what I captured. In that moment, I suddenly realized—these photos recorded more than just images. They held time, place, and stories. But all of that information was scattered in the corners of my photo album, never opened again.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  An Accidental Discovery
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;About six months ago, I was searching online for "photo geotagging tools," wondering if there was any way to connect photos with maps. That's when I came across this tool: &lt;strong&gt;WTSolutions' Images to Google Earth/Ovi Maps&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Honestly, I didn't pay much attention at first. This kind of tool sounded like something only GIS professionals would use. But when I saw "online version, no download, just drag and drop," I decided to click through anyway.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Drag and Drop—That's It?
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The page was remarkably simple. Nothing complicated. I grabbed 6 photos from my Xi'an trip and dragged them onto the page. Then it just started processing automatically.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A few seconds later, there was a download link for a KMZ file on the page.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I was stunned. That was it? No sign-up, no payment, no tedious settings?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Still skeptical, I dragged the KMZ file into Google Earth.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then I saw something I'd never seen before—those photos appeared one by one on the map, right where I had taken them back then. I could fly over the Earth and click each photo to see the view from that moment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It's hard to describe that feeling. It was like suddenly having a photo album that could talk.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Ovi Maps: Better for China
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Later, I tried again with Ovi Maps. Honestly, Google Earth isn't always convenient in China, and Ovi Maps worked much better for me when I needed to check maps in work scenarios.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In Ovi Maps, the photos appear as icons on the map, and you can click to see the actual photo. For colleagues who need to locate shooting sites for work, this feature is simply a game-changer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Privacy: What Really Won Me Over
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To be honest, I was initially hesitant about online tools. Uploading my personal photos to some unknown website? That gave me pause.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But after reading the website's explanation, I discovered that all processing happens locally in the browser. The photos never get uploaded to any server. This meant—even my most private photos could be handled with confidence.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This was the point that changed my mind entirely. So many online tools require uploading data. The fact that this one processes everything locally is genuinely different.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  It Changed How I Organize My Photos
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Now, every time I return from a trip, the first thing I do isn't post on social media—it's import those photos onto a map.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Looking at the dense cluster of markers on the map, I suddenly realized—I've been to far more places than I thought. All those "been there" moments, connected on a map, form a real travel trajectory.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And this approach made me re-examine what a photo really means. It's not just a static image anymore—it's a coordinate, a moment, an anchor of memory in space.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Not Just Travel—It's Life
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Later, I started using this tool for everyday work too. On one project trip, I took lots of site photos. After importing them into Ovi Maps, the entire project progress became visible at a glance. My colleagues all said, "This feature is incredibly practical."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I also use it for urban exploration. I walk around and shoot photos on weekends, then import them into the map on Sunday night to see where I've been that week. Unknowingly, a "life map" of my own is forming.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Is the Free Version Enough?
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For everyday users, the free version's limit of 6 photos per batch is more than sufficient. Most of the time, I don't need to process dozens or hundreds at once, so the free version has been with me all along.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Of course, if you're a power user, upgrading to the Pro version is a reasonable choice. Unlimited processing, custom image sizes, GeoJSON export—these features genuinely solve real problems.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But honestly, as someone who uses this feature occasionally, the free version has already brought me tremendous value.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Wrapping Up
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sometimes I think the value of a tech product isn't about how powerful its features are, but whether it can truly enter our lives and change how we see the world.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For me, this tool is exactly that kind of existence. It didn't teach me any advanced GIS systems, and it didn't make me a photography master. It just helped me rediscover every photo in my album—they're not just images; they're my footprints on this planet.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you have thousands of photos sitting in your album with no idea what they hold, give this method a try.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You won't just see a map. You'll see the roads you've walked.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://s.wtsolutions.cn/gps.html" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; Try Images to Google Earth/Ovi Maps &amp;lt;&amp;lt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>I Shot Hundreds of Drone Photos—Here's How I Turned Them into a Flight Path</title>
      <dc:creator>WTSolutions</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Mon, 20 Jul 2026 07:08:37 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/wtsolutions/i-shot-hundreds-of-drone-photos-heres-how-i-turned-them-into-a-flight-path-2bdp</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/wtsolutions/i-shot-hundreds-of-drone-photos-heres-how-i-turned-them-into-a-flight-path-2bdp</guid>
      <description>&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Hundreds of Photos, One Folder
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'm a drone enthusiast—not professional, but someone who loves taking their drone on every trip. Honestly, the best part of drone flying isn't the shooting moment itself, but the review. That bird's-eye perspective is something only someone who's actually flown a place can truly understand.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But after every flight, hundreds of photos get dumped into a folder and just pile up. I'll open a few occasionally, but they quickly get buried under the next batch.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It wasn't until one day that I realized—these photos aren't just images. They're a &lt;strong&gt;flight trajectory&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  From One Photo to an Entire Map
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Every time I fly, the drone automatically records GPS data for each photo. Theoretically, if I could extract that GPS information and place the photos back on a map, I could see exactly where my drone flew.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But doing it manually? Hundreds of photos, opening each one's properties, copying coordinates, pasting them one by one into a map—just the thought of it made me give up.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That was until I found &lt;strong&gt;WTSolutions' Images to Google Earth/Ovi Maps&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Drag and Drop—It Just Gets It
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The operation was so simple it almost embarrassed me. I dragged an entire folder of photos onto the webpage, and the tool automatically extracted the GPS data from each image. Within seconds, it generated a KMZ file.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I downloaded it, dragged it into Google Earth.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then I saw something I'd never seen before—every photo my drone took appeared one by one on the map, connected in flight order into a continuous path. I could see the entire flight area at a glance, and clearly understand the spatial relationship between every shooting point.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It's hard to describe. It was like I finally had a real map of my entire flight.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  This Is Almost a Must-Have for Drone Operators
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Honestly, as a drone operator, this tool solved a problem I'd always wanted to solve but never imagined could be this simple.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Flight debriefing.&lt;/strong&gt; After every flight, I can clearly see which areas I covered, how far I flew, and which spots I missed. This has helped me improve my flight technique significantly.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Client delivery.&lt;/strong&gt; Sometimes I do aerial work for others—construction sites, terrain surveys. I just send the KMZ file to the client, and they can open it in Google Earth to see exactly where each photo was taken. No more explaining photo by photo "where is this?"&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Creative inspiration.&lt;/strong&gt; Sometimes after a flight I realize I missed an angle. But looking at the map, I can figure out that flying from another direction would fill the gap. The map gives me a much better sense of spatial relationships in my flights.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Ovi Maps: A Drone Enthusiast's New Favorite Tool
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For drone operators in China, Ovi Maps is actually more practical than Google Earth.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The reason is simple: Ovi Maps can overlay various layers—contour lines, satellite imagery, terrain maps. After importing the KMZ file, I can see photo positions in the actual flight environment, combined with contour lines to judge altitude and terrain relationships.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Once I was flying in a mountainous area. After importing the photos into Ovi Maps, the contour lines revealed a valley I had completely missed. I later flew specifically there and captured some stunning shots I never would have found otherwise.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  A Special Request: Helping a Village Map Its Collective Assets
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What truly made me realize this tool's value extends far beyond personal interest was a special request from a client.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One day, a friend who does drone aerial photography reached out. He was working on a survey for a village—mapping their "san zi," the collective assets of rural communities: funds, physical assets, and natural resources like land, forests, water bodies, and buildings that belong to the entire village.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For years, these assets were recorded on paper ledgers and kept in the memory of aging village officials. Boundaries were unclear, areas didn't match, and the accounts were a mess. Now policy demands digitalization—every plot of land, every forest patch, needs to be mapped precisely.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"I flew dozens of missions and took over a thousand photos," he told me. "But photos alone aren't enough. I need to turn the GPS location of each photo into a manageable map."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I had him try this tool. He dragged the GPS-tagged drone photos into it, generated a KMZ file, and imported it into Ovi Maps.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then I saw what delighted him—every field, every forest, every homestead appeared on the map exactly where the drone had photographed it. The village officials could stand at the edge of a field with a tablet, tap a marker on the map, and see the real aerial photo taken from above. The boundaries were crystal clear.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"This is way faster than manually tracing everything," he said. "And when villagers come to identify boundaries on-site, they can just look at the photos. Disputes disappear almost instantly."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Later he told me the survey resolved several historical issues: land thought to belong to the village turned out to be the neighboring village's on closer inspection; conversely, they recovered two edge plots that had been completely missed from the old ledger.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This moment made me realize that &lt;strong&gt;drone aerial photography + GPS mapping tools&lt;/strong&gt; is no longer just a hobbyist's toy. It has entered the actual workflow of grassroots governance.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  It Changed How I Think About Flight Logs
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;My old flight log was pretty traditional: time, location, weather, flight duration. But those entries were too dry—I'd forget them quickly after reading.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Now, after importing each flight's photos onto a map, my flight log becomes a visual landscape. Without any text, I can immediately see where I flew, how long I was up, and what area I covered.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sometimes, when I look back at previous flight records, seeing those markers on the map, I suddenly remember how strong the wind was that day, or how the sunlight hit the terrain. Every point on the map is a flight memory.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Is the Free Version Enough for Drone Operators?
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For an everyday drone hobbyist, the free version's 6-photo limit is honestly quite tight. A single flight typically produces dozens or even hundreds of aerial photos, and 6 is nowhere near enough to debrief an entire flight.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So for me, upgrading to the Pro version makes sense. Unlimited processing, custom image display sizes, GeoJSON export—these features are genuinely useful for drone operators.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Especially GeoJSON export. Sometimes I import flight data into flight planning software for more advanced data analysis. That feature made me feel the tool's value went far beyond its original promise.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Wrapping Up
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What makes drone flying most captivating isn't how high you fly or how far you shoot—it's how you see the world from a completely different angle.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This tool didn't change how I fly. But it changed how I look at my flights. Instead of seeing a pile of scattered photos, I now see a complete flight—with a starting point, a trajectory, a covered area, and every photo's corresponding ground position.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Every time I import photos after a flight, it feels like the final step of completing the mission—placing a visual stamp on that flight.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you're a drone operator, or just someone who loves capturing the world from above, this tool will make you redefine what "flight logging" really means.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://s.wtsolutions.cn/gps.html" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; Try Images to Google Earth/Ovi Maps &amp;lt;&amp;lt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <guid>https://dev.to/wtsolutions/excel-to-json-json-to-excel-the-ultimate-data-conversion-bridge-by-wtsolutions-2119</guid>
      <description>&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  The Easiest Bridge Between Excel and JSON
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;WTSolutions introduces two powerful data conversion tools that seamlessly connect spreadsheets with JSON - &lt;strong&gt;Excel-to-JSON&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;JSON-to-Excel&lt;/strong&gt;. These professional tools cover bidirectional conversion scenarios with full-platform, full-scenario solutions designed to boost your data transformation efficiency.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://s.wtsolutions.cn/excel-json-product.html" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://s.wtsolutions.cn/excel-json-product.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Two Products, One Mission
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;

&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Quickly convert spreadsheet data into structured JSON within Excel or WPS. Whether you're working on frontend/backend development, data migration, or API integration, this tool supports both flat and nested modes to meet all your requirements.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  JSON-to-Excel
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Transform JSON data (including deeply nested structures) into well-formatted Excel spreadsheets. With support for paste, file upload, and URL loading input methods, batch processing becomes incredibly efficient.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Key Features That Set Us Apart
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;More than simple format conversion - these tools serve as your professional data processing partner.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Flat &amp;amp; Nested JSON Support
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Both tools handle flat structures and multi-level nested JSON conversion with ease. Customizable delimiters (dot &lt;code&gt;.&lt;/code&gt;, underscore &lt;code&gt;_&lt;/code&gt;, double underscore &lt;code&gt;__&lt;/code&gt;, slash &lt;code&gt;/&lt;/code&gt;) allow flexible control over nesting levels.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Fine-grained Data Control
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Empty cells&lt;/strong&gt;: Choose between empty string, null, or exclude from output&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Boolean values&lt;/strong&gt;: Support for true/false, string "true"/"false", or numeric 1/0 formats&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;

  Flexible Conversion Settings
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Every detail is controllable, ensuring the output matches your expectations exactly.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Conversion Mode
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Flat mode&lt;/strong&gt;: Ideal for simple tables with straightforward data structures&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Nested mode&lt;/strong&gt;: Handles multi-level structures and complex data relationships&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Nested Delimiter
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Choose from dot (&lt;code&gt;.&lt;/code&gt;), underscore (&lt;code&gt;_&lt;/code&gt;), double underscore (&lt;code&gt;__&lt;/code&gt;), or slash (&lt;code&gt;/&lt;/code&gt;) to match different naming conventions in your data.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Excel → JSON Specific Options
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Empty cell handling&lt;/strong&gt;: Three output options (empty string, null, or exclude)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Boolean format&lt;/strong&gt;: JSON true/false, string "true"/"false", or numeric 1/0&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Date format&lt;/strong&gt;: ISO 8601 standard or days-since-1900&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  JSON → Excel Specific Options
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Max nesting depth&lt;/strong&gt;: Customizable from 1-20 levels or infinite; deeper levels are automatically stringified to prevent data loss&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
