Convert Microsoft Access MDB to Excel online
Input file
Our API uses a *.MDB file as input. These MDB files are typically created by Microsoft Access up to version 2003. More recent Microsoft Access versions create ACCDB files, check out our ACCDB converter.
Max file size for web uploads: 50 GB
Output file
The API will return a ZIP archive of .XLSX files, one for each table in the given database file. Since Excel has a limit of about one million rows, it could be that the rows are divided into several files.
Conversion methods
Download the RebaseData client Java tool . To convert your database using RebaseData, run the following command:
java -jar client-0.0.5.jar convert --output-format=xlsx database.mdb output-dir/
Replace database.mdb with the path to the database you want to convert.
The file output.zip will contain a Excel file, one for each table in the given database file. If something went wrong, output.zip contains the error message.
curl -F 'files[]=@database.mdb' 'https://www.rebasedata.com/api/v1/convert?outputFormat=xlsx&errorResponse=zip' -o output.zip
How long does it take?
The conversion process takes between 15 seconds and multiple minutes. It depends on the size of the database.
