How it works

Three steps. No technical knowledge required.

1

Describe what you need

Tell Exepad what you want to build, in your own words. Mention the features, the audience, the purpose — be as specific or as general as you like.

2

Attach your spreadsheet

Upload your Excel file. Exepad reads every sheet, every column, every formula — and uses your actual data to structure the application.

3

Publish in minutes

The app goes live on its own URL with every sheet, column, and formula wired in. Point your team at the link, or re-upload a revised spreadsheet whenever the numbers change.

Not a spreadsheet viewer.
A real application.

Your Excel file is the starting point. The result is a standalone application with its own infrastructure — published, shareable, and ready to use.

Your data becomes a database

Exepad reads every sheet, column, and row in your file and creates a dedicated database — not a spreadsheet viewer. Your data is stored, queryable, and structured for a real application.

Search, filter, and sort — built in

Every record in your app is searchable instantly. Users can filter by any field, sort by any column, and find what they need without scrolling through rows.

Forms that write back to your data

Your app includes submission forms connected directly to its database. Collect new entries, update existing records, or accept requests — without a separate form tool.

Email sending and marketing

Send transactional emails from your app, schedule campaigns to filtered segments, and fire alerts when a spreadsheet value crosses a threshold you set.

Analytics on every interaction

Which rows get the most views? Which filters get used? Which cells get edited? The spreadsheet never told you — your app reports it from day one.

Works on every device

Your app looks and works correctly on desktop, tablet, and phone. Responsive layouts are generated automatically from your content structure.

Built for Excel files

Exepad understands the structure of your spreadsheet — not just the text inside it.

Every sheet, every column

Multiple sheets become separate sections or linked views. Column headers become field names. Data types are detected automatically.

Formulas become live logic

Calculated fields in your spreadsheet translate into computed fields in your application. Totals, averages, and conditional values stay live.

Dropdowns and validation

Data validation rules and dropdown lists in your Excel file carry over as form controls and filters in the published app.

Images and charts

Embedded images and charts inside your spreadsheet are extracted and placed into the application layout automatically.

Excel vs. Exepad app

The same data, in two very different forms. One is a file. The other is a platform your team actually uses.

What can you build from a spreadsheet?

The same Excel file can become entirely different applications depending on what you describe.

CRM

Turn your contact list into a full customer management system with profiles, notes, and activity tracking.

Dashboard

Transform raw data into interactive charts, KPI cards, and trend lines — shareable with your team.

Directory

Publish a searchable, filterable listing from your spreadsheet. Useful for members, properties, products, or services.

Client Portal

Give each client a private view of their own data — project status, invoices, documents — without exposing anyone else's.

Inventory Tracker

Track stock levels, set low-stock alerts, log movements, and manage suppliers — all from a single spreadsheet upload.

Booking System

Let clients book time slots, receive confirmation emails, and manage appointments — built from your availability spreadsheet.

Everything your Excel file can't do

A spreadsheet is a file. Your app is a platform. Every conversion includes what you'd otherwise need a dozen tools — and an IT team — to assemble.

Dedicated database replacing flat sheets
Per-user logins with row-level security
Role-based permissions on every field
Multi-user editing with no version conflicts
Required fields and dropdown validation
Full edit history with user and timestamp
Instant search across every sheet
Forms that append new rows automatically
Email alerts on threshold or status changes
Round-trip export back to Excel or CSV
Your own domain with SSL included
Mobile layouts — no pinch-zoomed cells

From spreadsheet to application
in one sitting

Your Excel file already has the data and structure. Exepad turns that into a live application — not a prototype, not a mockup.

Columns become fields

Each column in your spreadsheet becomes a searchable, filterable field in the app. No manual mapping. No schema design. Your existing structure is the blueprint.

Rows become records

Every row in your Excel file becomes a record with its own detail page, edit form, and search entry. A 500-row spreadsheet produces a 500-record application instantly.

Sheets become sections

A workbook with 'Clients', 'Projects', and 'Invoices' sheets produces an app with three linked sections — each with its own views, filters, and relationships.
