Frequently Asked Questions about converting JPG to XLSX

Find clear answers to common questions about turning JPG images into XLSX spreadsheets. Below, we explain how the process works, what tools you can use, tips for better results, and how to fix typical issues. Use this guide to convert faster and more accurately.

What is the difference between a JPG and an XLSX file?

A JPG (or JPEG) is a compressed image file format used for photos and graphics. It uses lossy compression to reduce file size, which can slightly reduce quality, and it’s ideal for web images, social media, and sharing pictures due to wide compatibility across devices and apps.

An XLSX file is a spreadsheet format used by Microsoft Excel and compatible apps. It stores structured data in worksheets with cells, formulas, charts, and tables, supports data analysis and automation, and is not an image format—its purpose is data organization and calculation rather than visual media.

Will the layout and table structure be preserved during conversion from JPG to XLSX?

In most cases, basic table structure and cell alignment can be detected and transferred to XLSX, especially when the JPG contains a clear, high-contrast grid. However, perfect preservation is not guaranteed because images lack embedded data—everything must be inferred by OCR and layout detection.

To improve results, use a high-resolution image, ensure straight orientation, strong contrast, and minimal background noise. Distinct grid lines, consistent column widths, and readable text significantly increase the chances that the layout and formatting are reconstructed accurately.

After conversion, review the spreadsheet for merged cells, header alignment, and text recognition errors. Minor manual cleanup—adjusting borders, column widths, and correcting OCR—may be needed to fully match the original table’s layout.

How accurate is the OCR when extracting text and numbers from scanned JPG images?

Modern OCR can reach 90–99% accuracy on clean, high‑resolution JPG scans with clear fonts and good contrast. Accuracy depends on factors like image quality (300+ DPI recommended), lighting/contrast, font legibility, and language support. Well‑scanned documents with standard fonts typically yield near-perfect results for both text and numbers.

Challenging cases—such as blurry images, low resolution, handwriting, skewed pages, complex layouts, or noise/compression artifacts—can reduce accuracy, especially for similar-looking characters (e.g., O/0, 1/l/I). For best results, use high DPI, good lighting, deskew/crop, increase contrast, and, if available, enable language and layout detection or post-process with spell-check/validation.

Can I convert multiple JPG files to a single XLSX workbook or separate sheets?

Yes. You can combine multiple JPG files into one XLSX workbook by importing each image as an object. Most converters and spreadsheet tools let you upload several JPGs and choose to place them either on one sheet or across multiple sheets within a single workbook.

If you want a single workbook with separate sheets, select the option that creates a new sheet per image. This keeps each JPG isolated, making it easier to label tabs and manage content individually without overlap.

For a single sheet containing all images, choose the layout option that inserts all JPGs onto one worksheet. Adjust image size and positioning afterward to avoid clutter. In both cases, the result is an XLSX file you can download and edit.

What image quality or resolution is recommended for best conversion results?

For best conversion results, upload images with high resolution (at least 3000 px on the longest side) and original quality when possible; avoid heavily compressed or resized copies. Use files with minimal JPEG compression (low compression/high quality settings), maintain 300+ DPI for print-oriented images, and ensure the source is well-lit, sharp, and noise-free. Larger, cleaner inputs preserve more detail, yielding higher-quality outputs after conversion.

How are merged cells, headers, and columns handled in the XLSX output?

In the XLSX output, merged cells are preserved whenever the source structure clearly indicates a single logical region. If a merge cannot be mapped reliably, the data is still exported, but placed in the top-left cell of the intended region to avoid data loss, and no merge is applied. This ensures the sheet remains editable and consistent across spreadsheet apps.

Headers are detected using the first meaningful row of tabular data. They are written as the header row with appropriate cell formatting where possible. If no clear header row exists, the first row of values is used as headers by default, and subsequent rows become the dataset. We avoid duplicating headers when the input already contains them.

For columns, we maintain the original order and width when that information is available; otherwise, standard widths are applied for readability. Column data types (text, number, date) are inferred to improve sorting and filtering behavior. Hidden columns remain hidden, and unsupported layouts are flattened without altering the underlying cell values.

Is my data secure and are the uploaded JPG files deleted after conversion?

Yes, your data is secure. We use HTTPS encryption during upload, conversion, and download to protect your files in transit, and we do not share or sell user content.

Uploaded JPG files are stored only for the time needed to process your conversion. Access is restricted and temporary to ensure privacy.

After conversion, files are automatically deleted from our servers within a short retention window, and you can also remove them immediately using the provided delete option.

What should I do if the XLSX has recognition errors or misaligned columns?

If your XLSX shows recognition errors or misaligned columns, first re-export or re-download the file and try opening it in a different spreadsheet app (Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice) to rule out viewer issues. Then use the app’s tools: apply Text to Columns (delimited by commas, tabs, or custom), auto-detect separators, fix encoding (UTF-8), and standardize date/number formats. Also check for merged cells, hidden columns, or wrap text, and run Trim/Clean functions to remove stray spaces or non-printable characters.

If the structure is still off, import the source again using the program’s Data Import Wizard so you can define delimiters, headers, and column types manually. For persistent issues, open the file as CSV (if available), inspect delimiters/quotes, and correct them before saving back to XLSX. As a last resort, copy a clean header row, paste values only, and realign columns by inserting/deleting as needed, then save and re-open to confirm the layout.
