Drop a Trello JSON export here or click to choose a file · up to 50 MB · one board per file ## How to get the JSON file from Trello - Open the board in Trello and click the ⋯ menu at the top right. - Choose Print, export, and share . - Choose Export as JSON . The browser downloads or opens a single .json file. If it opens as text, save the page with a .json name. - Drop that file here. Works on Trello's free plan. The JSON export includes cards, lists, labels, members, checklists, custom fields, and up to 1,000 recent actions, which is where comments come from. ## Getting a Trello board into Excel Trello's built-in CSV export is a paid feature, and even on paid plans it flattens checklists and comments into single cells. The JSON export, available on every plan, carries the whole board. This tool reads that JSON and writes proper tables from it. ### How the tables are laid out - Cards has one row per card: list, labels, members, due date and completion, archive state, checklist progress, comment and attachment counts, the description, one column per custom field, and the Trello card id. - Checklists has one row per checklist item, so you can filter to what is still open. - Comments and Attachments are one row each with the card they belong to. - Lists , Labels , Members , and Custom fields summarise the board's structure with usage counts. ### Things to check after converting If the board has more than a thousand actions, older comments are missing from Trello's export itself. Switch to the Inspect view to see whether that applies. Uploaded files appear as links that need a Trello login. Archived cards are excluded unless you tick the option. ## Trello export questions Does Trello let me export to Excel or CSV for free? No. Trello’s CSV export is part of the paid Premium plan. The JSON export is available on every plan, including Free, and contains more than the CSV does. This tool reads that JSON export in your browser and writes Excel, CSV, or Markdown from it. Is my Trello data uploaded anywhere? No. The file is read by JavaScript running in your browser tab and never leaves your device. There is no server behind this page; you can disconnect from the internet after it loads and it still works. Nothing is stored either. Reload the page and the board is gone. Are attachments included? Attachment names and links are included. The files themselves are not in a Trello JSON export: uploaded files appear as URLs that need a Trello login to open. Kanera’s Trello importer can copy the uploaded files across when you connect your Trello account during the import. Why are some comments missing? Trello exports at most 1,000 recent actions per board, and comments are stored as actions. On a busy board the older comments are not in the file. The Inspect view shows the raw action count so you can tell when this has happened. Can I convert several boards at once? One board per file, because Trello exports one board per file. Drop the next file when the first download finishes; the tool resets in a click. What does the Excel workbook contain? Sheets for Cards, Checklists, Comments, Attachments, Lists, Labels, Members, and Custom fields. The Cards sheet has one column per Trello custom field, and dates are real Excel dates so they sort and filter. ## More free tools [Trello to CSV Export a Trello board to CSV files without the paid plan.
