Uploading your first spreadsheet
Step 1 - Prepare your file
SheetForge works best with spreadsheets that have a clear header row as the first row. Each column becomes a data field, and each row becomes a record in your app.
Supported formats: CSV, XLSX (Excel), and Google Sheets (public links).
Step 2 - Go to the generator
Visit sheetforge.ai/generate-app. You will see a file upload area and a Google Sheets URL field.
Step 3 - Upload or paste
- File upload: Drag and drop your CSV or Excel file onto the upload area, or click "Browse file" to select it.
- Google Sheets: Copy the sharing URL from your Google Sheet and paste it into the URL field, then click "Import".
Step 4 - Review your data
SheetForge detects your column types automatically. You will see a summary of detected columns and row count. If you have a multi-sheet Excel file, a tab bar will appear so you can include additional sheets.
Step 5 - Choose your views and generate
Select which views you want (Table, Dashboard, Kanban, etc.) and click "Forge my app". Your app is generated instantly in your browser.
Tip: The free plan uses the first 500 rows. For larger datasets, upgrade to a paid plan.
