Introduction

Data Import & Export, Mass Content, Joomla Migration, J2Store extensions, Phoca Cart extensions

Content Uploader lets you import and export Joomla content directly from Excel, CSV, or ODS files in just a few clicks. Each spreadsheet row becomes a Joomla item, making large-scale content creation, updates, backups, and professional Joomla migrations fast, reliable, and effortless. Built for agencies, developers, and site administrators, the Pro version extends the simplicity of the Free version with advanced components, unlimited batch sizes, and one-click migration from Joomla 3 to Joomla 5 / Joomla 6.

One-click Joomla 3 → Joomla 5 / Joomla 6 migration

Export and import in one click:
- Articles
- Custom Fields
- Categories
- Images
- Users (optional)

The migration process preserves content structure and significantly reduces the time and risk usually involved in major Joomla upgrades.

Bulk import & export made simple

Instead of manually creating or editing items one by one, you work comfortably in a spreadsheet. Configure the layout once, select your file, and upload. Content Uploader automatically converts each row into a Joomla item, ensuring a structured, predictable, and efficient workflow.

You can also export existing content into spreadsheets, making it ideal for:
- Backups
- Offline editing
- Re-importing content into another Joomla site
- Preparing content before a migration

Supported content
- Joomla Articles
- Phoca Cart Products
- K2 Items
- J2Store Products
- K2Store Products
- Contacts
- Weblinks
- Akeeba Admin Tools URL Redirections
- Joomla 3 → Joomla 5 / Joomla 6 migration

Supported file formats
- XLSX
- XLS
- CSV
- ODS

Key strengths
- Extremely easy to use - no complex setup or technical knowledge required
- Massive time savings - bulk import and export instead of manual content creation
- Reliable and structured - spreadsheet-based workflow reduces errors
- Perfect for migrations - proven solution for Joomla version upgrades
- Professional flexibility - ideal for agencies and large content projects

Free vs Pro

Content Uploader Free is limited to Joomla articles and 50 items per upload batch (repeatable) and is ideal for smaller data sets and testing the workflow.
Content Uploader Pro removes these limitations and adds:
- Advanced components and e-commerce support
- Unlimited batch sizes
- One-click Joomla 3 → Joomla 5 / Joomla 6 migration
- Access to priority support

Upgrading from Free to Pro is straightforward and immediately unlocks the full potential of spreadsheet-driven Joomla content management.

Content Uploader Pro is built to simplify complex Joomla projects, eliminate repetitive work, and give you full control over your content - whether you are managing a large website, running an agency, or upgrading legacy Joomla installations.

I purchased this component to import a lot of J2store items on a regular basis. Now it can also migrate Joomla 3 to 5 with two clicks! :)
Ease of use
Setting up the configuration for article upload took a bit until I was perfectly happy but once that's done you select the file and click go
Support
I've never received better support for a free or paid software. The developer went out of his way and helped me to fix various issues. wow
Documentation
Value for money
I was already happy to buy the pro version for J2store imports. Now they also added Joomla migration, which is absolutely amazing!
I used this to: Import J2store products to my ecommerce website. I get weekly products/offers and this plugin just makes it so easy.

Amazed how easy this was



Posted on 08 July 2024

Can't believe how easy this was. I needed to move a J3 site to 5 and this extension made it happen in 30 seconds. Wow!
Ease of use
Nothing more than clicking buttons. My 2 year old could do that!
Support
Didn't need any. It's so simple and intuitive that I doubt they have a lot support to do at all.
Documentation
Didn't even need to look it up. Everything was very clear and easy to use.
Value for money
Absolutely fair price. I've done the same by hand and it took hours.
I used this to: Migrate Joomla 3 to Joomla 5. The only thing I have left is fix the template. Anything else was done in a few seconds.

Why didn't I find this sooner!



Posted on 28 May 2024
Functionality
Started with the free version, which was doing almost everything I needed. After a while I switched to the paid version - no regrets!
Ease of use
To be honest the paid one is definitely superior in terms of functionality and ease of use but that's only natural. For a free tool it's gr8
Support
I didn't feel a difference in support between free and paid version. All requests where handled quickly and professionally.
Documentation
Value for money
I used the free version for a long time. At some point I needed some features of the paid version and don't know why I didn't get it sooner!
I used this to: Updating product catalog on a regular basis. Importing hundreds of items every week.

Exactly what I needed, and more!

I needed a tool to bulk import Phoca Cart items. The built-in import was not working well so I looked around. This one is perfect!
Ease of use
If you ever worked with the original extension you have no issue to work with the Content Uploader configuration.
Support
I managed to set up everything as I wanted it to work. I wouldn't have needed support but the question I had was answered in minutes. Thanks
Documentation
I didn't need anything. The component is self explaining if you know the Phoca Cart extension. Straight forward.
Value for money
Fair price for a feature rich extension. I've paid more for plugins that do little things. This one saves me so much time I'm happy to pay!
I used this to: Bulk import of Phoca Cart products. I get new catalogs in Excel format anyway and need little to no modifications to upload them to my site. Thanks to this extension! <3

Love this extension!

You can upload or download articles to/from a spreadsheet. Great for changes to many articles of a certain category in spreadsheet or backup
Ease of use
It helps to know your way around basic spreadsheet skills. Specify any article setting. Can be a bit techy but easy once you learn how.
Support
Support has been excellent! Friendly, helpful, timely. When I have a problem, they're on top of it and create a new version if it's a bug.
Documentation
Value for money
Not cheap but definitely worth the money if you need this functionality.
I used this to: This extension has been a godsend! I use many articles in a blog category layout to display time-sensitive info based on start/stop publishing dates. I specify date & time to start/stop publishing. Great to make changes, updates, & re-upload quickly, easily. Or download as backup

What a time saver!

I was looking for an extension to help me create lots of articles on a regular basis. I already have data in Excel so this is perfect!
Ease of use
Setup took a few minutes but I only needed to do it once. Pretty straight forward. All options I needed to set are there.
Support
I had one question I needed help with and the issue was solved within minutes. Thanks again!
Documentation
All options are explained in detail. Something I didn't find out myself could be sorted within minutes by contacting the developer.
Value for money
It's not cheap but considering the time I'm saving I'm happy to pay. Overall fair price for the product you get and the support!
I used this to: Adding j2store products to my shop. I get new products in Excel format and can add them directly to my shop.

Superb Import Tool

Great!!! Best extension to import e.g. generate articles in joomla. Each row within an Excel sheet can be imported or update an article.
Ease of use
Great! Straight forward, nearly all is self explaining, after one got used to it. This is how it should be.
Support
Best support in English and German. Reacts quickly and detailed to my questions. Even suggesting new functions was appreciated.
Documentation
GREAT. That's the best. Additional info is readable via mouse over.
Value for money
Very good. This is such a useful extension for me and I was very happy that it is now working in Joomla 4.
I used this to: I'm using Content Uploader Pro since 2017 Joomla 3 and have imported more than 10.000 articles from several Excel files, with many many columns and rows.

conversion de données non originaires de Joomla, en articles et catégories natifs avec champs personnalisés via des tableaux Excel.
Ease of use
très facile à utiliser et très intuitif, notamment la création automatique des catégories, l'insertion des champs personnalisés
Support
excellent support, toujours disponible, rapide et très efficace, via le site et la possibilité de créer des "tickets"
Documentation
la documentation est suffisante et pas vraiment nécessaire dès lors qu'on a compris comment fonctionne l'interface très intuitive
Value for money
le prix de l'extension 'Pro' est vraiment très raisonnable au vu des performances, et c'est la mieux placée par rapport à la concurrence
I used this to: convertir des données issues de tables SQL non Joomla pour créer un catalogue de restaurants de montagne classés par stations et villages

Extension works, Support .. no

Extension simplifies the mass upload, and it works pretty good for standard features.
Ease of use
It's simple to use the features that work. Troubleshooting is very difficult
Support
I subscribed for 3 months, but I've never received any reply (other users like me)
Documentation
Value for money
I think that value for money is correct, but it has to include the support (official included but not provided)
I used this to: Mass upload of articles after migration from another platform to Joomla
