Import CSV, Excel or JSON into MongoDB

Loading a spreadsheet or a CSV export into MongoDB usually means a shell and a command-line utility. FileToMongo does the same job with a screen in front: point it at the file, point it at the collection, check the field mapping, and import.

CSV, Excel, JSON, XML, SQL and more

Import a CSV, TSV, TXT, Excel, JSON, JSONL, XML, HTML, RDF or SQL file into a new or an existing collection, and let the field mapping be detected from the header row. Encoding is detected as well, so a file exported from Excel on Windows does not arrive full of garbled text. See CSV to MongoDB and Excel to MongoDB.

Import CSV, Excel or JSON files into MongoDB collections with FileToMongo

Import one file, many files, or a whole folder

A single file into a single collection, one file into several collections, or every file in a folder into its own collection - the whole folder can be loaded in one run. Millions of rows are streamed, so the import does not depend on how much RAM the machine has.

FileToMongo, or mongoimport?

The official mongoimport utility is the right tool if you live in a shell and only need JSON or CSV. FileToMongo is for the rest: a GUI when you want one, Excel, XML, HTML, RDF and SQL as well as CSV and JSON, a field mapping you can check before the import runs, update and upsert instead of insert-only, a whole folder at a time, a command line for scripting, and scheduled tasks. Either way the data never leaves your machine.

Which MongoDB tool do I need?

Need the other direction? MongoToFile exports collections to files, MongoLoader does both, and DBToMongo copies a relational database into MongoDB. Every MongoDB task is listed on the MongoDB tools page.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to import data to MongoDB? +

FileToMongo processes millions of rows in minutes. The exact speed depends on your hardware, file size, and MongoDB server performance. A 1GB CSV file with 10 million rows typically takes 5-10 minutes to import.

Is the data processing secure? +

Yes. All data processing happens locally on your computer—no files or data are uploaded to external servers or the cloud. This ensures maximum security for sensitive enterprise data.

Does it support MongoDB Atlas? +

Yes. FileToMongo works with both local MongoDB instances and MongoDB Atlas (cloud). Simply enter the connection string for your Atlas cluster during setup, and the import will work seamlessly.

Can I schedule automatic imports? +

Absolutely. FileToMongo includes a task scheduler that lets you set up daily, weekly, or custom-scheduled imports. You can save your import configuration as a session and schedule it to run automatically.

What MongoDB versions are supported? +

FileToMongo supports MongoDB 3.0 and above, including the latest versions (7.x and 8.x). It's compatible with all major MongoDB editions (Community, Enterprise, Atlas).

Is technical support included with purchase? +

Yes. All purchases include free technical support via email.

How do I import a CSV file into MongoDB? +

Point FileToMongo at the CSV file and the target collection, check the detected field mapping, and choose insert, update or upsert. Existing collections can be updated in place instead of being loaded twice.

Can I import a whole folder of files into MongoDB? +

Yes. One file can go into one collection, several files into one collection, or every file in a folder into its own collection - the whole folder is processed in a single run.

What is the difference between FileToMongo and mongoimport? +

mongoimport is the official MongoDB command-line utility - ideal in a shell, limited to JSON and CSV. FileToMongo adds a GUI, Excel, XML, HTML and RDF input, a field mapping you can review first, update and upsert, folder-level batch import, a command line and scheduled tasks.
