QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert DB to XLSX?
Yes - DB converts to XLSX.

Export the table to CSV from DB Browser for SQLite (File > Export > Table(s) as CSV), open the CSV in Excel, and save as .xlsx. There is no single-step direct conversion - the .db-to-CSV-to-.xlsx path is standard and takes under a minute.

Why convert DB to XLSX?

A .db file requires SQLite software to query; exporting to .xlsx lets you sort, filter, and build pivot tables in Excel and share data with colleagues who lack database tools. Excel and Google Sheets cannot open a .db file directly, making CSV the necessary intermediate step.

How to convert DB to XLSX

DB Browser for SQLite FREE

Open the .db via File > Open Database, then File > Export > Table(s) as CSV. Open the saved .csv in Microsoft Excel and save as .xlsx.

Microsoft Access APP

Import or link the SQLite .db table in Microsoft Access, then export it to Excel format (.xlsx) via the External Data tab.

Navicat Premium APP

Connect to the .db in Navicat Premium and use the export wizard to save the table directly as .xlsx.

Exportizer APP

Open the .db in Exportizer and export the selected table to .xlsx format.

Quality & what to watch

  • Each export covers one table; a database with multiple tables requires separate exports placed on separate sheets in Excel.
  • Excel's row limit of 1,048,576 rows applies - SQLite tables that exceed this will be truncated.
  • Data types are flattened: integers and floats transfer cleanly, but BLOB columns may appear garbled, and NULL values become empty cells.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a single-step `.db` to `.xlsx` converter?
Tools like Navicat Premium and Exportizer convert directly, but the free path always goes .db → CSV → .xlsx using DB Browser for SQLite and Excel.
Can I put all database tables into one `.xlsx` file?
Yes - export each table to a separate CSV, then copy each CSV into its own sheet within a single Excel workbook.
Can LibreOffice Calc open the exported CSV instead of Excel?
Yes - open the CSV in LibreOffice Calc, then save as .xlsx via File > Save As > Excel 2007-365.
