A web app that unlocks/bypasses password-protected excel file. Its process runs totally on the client-side without saving your file on the server.

You can use your own file

1. Open http://excelled.alecblance.com
2. Upload your password-protected excel file
3. Open the downloaded file. VIOLA! ✨

OR upload a sample file

1. Open http://excelled.alecblance.com
2. Download cant edit.xlsx from the sample/ folder and upload to the excelled website
3. Now open the new downloaded file "cant edit-excelled.xlsx"

Clone the project

  git clone https://github.com/AlecBlance/excelled-web

Go to the project directory

  cd excelled-web

Install dependencies

  npm install

Start

  npm run dev

No. The whole process is on the client-side. 💪

I'm glad you asked! 😆 It is quite simple actually. I extract the excel file, and remove each sheetProtection and workbookProtection elements inside, then zip and return an xlsx.

Everything is totally FREE! 🎉 Don't accept any payment from someone if asked.

I'm creating the api documentation now. Will release it when it's done. Feel free to explore the Network tab in DevTools at the moment. It uses the same route 😉

Currently the web app doesn't support this but the previous app version supports it. You can find it here

My mother always works with the excel files. When it is protected, she can't edit it. Worst, when she don't have the password. So, instead of manually going through the files and editing it, I created Excelled. This way she can just upload and get the file on-the-go.
