Introduction

Automatic Articles, Data Import & Export, Mass Content, Content Construction, K2 extensions

Content Uploader lets you import and export Joomla articles directly from Excel or CSV files in just a few clicks. Each spreadsheet row becomes a Joomla article, making bulk content creation, backups, and simple migrations fast and effortless. Designed for ease of use and reliability, this free version covers essential functionality, with an optional Pro version available for advanced features, such as full Joomla 3 → Joomla 5/6 migrations.

Content Uploader is a practical and easy-to-use solution for managing Joomla content via spreadsheets. It is ideal for site builders, agencies, and administrators who want to save time when creating, editing, backing up, or re-importing content.

Instead of manually creating articles one by one, you can work comfortably in a spreadsheet and upload all content in bulk. Each row is converted into a Joomla article automatically, ensuring a structured, predictable, and efficient workflow. Existing content can also be exported into a spreadsheet, which is especially useful for backups, offline editing, or re-importing content into another Joomla installation.

Key strengths
- Very easy to use - no complex configuration or technical knowledge required
- Time-saving - bulk import and export instead of manual content creation
- Reliable workflow - structured spreadsheet format reduces errors
- Ideal for backups and reuse - export content and import it again anytime

Supported file formats:
- XLSX
- XLS
- CSV
- ODS

Supported content:
- Joomla Articles
- Joomla 3 → Joomla 5/6 migration *
- K2 Items *
- J2Store Products *
- K2Store Products *

- Akeeba Admin Tools URL Redirections *

(* Pro version features. Also article upload is limited to 50 articles per batch in the Free version, which can be repeated endlessly.)

Easy migration from Joomla 3 to Joomla 5 / Joomla 6

This makes the Pro version a powerful tool for upgrading legacy Joomla sites while preserving content structure and data.

Free vs Pro

Content Uploader Free provides a reduced feature set focused on Joomla articles, allowing you to test the workflow and benefit from bulk content handling at no cost. When advanced components, e-commerce content, or full Joomla migration support are required, upgrading to the Pro version is straightforward.

Content Uploader is built to simplify content management, reduce repetitive work, and give you full control over your Joomla data - whether you are creating a new site, maintaining an existing one, or preparing for a Joomla version upgrade.

Handy Tool for Bulk Article Creation



Posted on 24 September 2024
Functionality
Solid tool for content uploads. Free version handles basics well and did the job for me. Speeds up my workflow considerably.
Ease of use
Pretty straightforward interface. Took a bit to get used to, but now it's smooth sailing. Most features are where you'd expect them.
Support
Decent help when needed. Response times impress, even on weekend. Better than many other extentions I've tried...
Documentation
Instructions cover most scenarios. Could use more examples, but it gets the job done. Helped me figure out the trickier parts.
I used this to: Import product catalogs in bulk. Great for updating inventory and generating SEO-friendly pages. Saved me hours of manual data entry work.

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
I used this to: Updating product catalog on a regular basis. Importing hundreds of items every week.

good component



Posted on 14 November 2023
Functionality
It greatly speeds up work with SEO on the website.
If you have a lot of simple, repetitive articles to add, use this or a paid add-on
Ease of use
The full version of the module is easier to use, but with the free version you can also do a lot, it speeds up your SEO work
Support
Very good help - which is rare in the free version.
The developer helped me and was very nice and understanding
Documentation
I used this to: I use it to create many SEO subpages. In XML, I provide variables and generate unique pages for positioning

Excellent extension to create bulk articles from Excel



Posted on 24 October 2023
Functionality
Excellent, Set the columns in the config, save config, point it at the file and press import. Review you new articles.
Ease of use
The interface is very simple and is laid out similar to the article page so it is easy to find and set the values you want to import.
Support
Excellent, I had an issue when I first installed the extension so I contacted the support email. I had a resolution within hours.
Documentation
The documentation is fairly basic but the extension is not particularly complicated to use so it does not need to be.
I used this to: The website I am working on has a large back catalogue of newsletters as pdf files. With this extension I was able to create a new article for each pdf including text content, cover images, download links and setting the created date of the article to the original published date

Good Componenet. I had to use an earlier version.

Functionality
Once I used a different version (3.0.0) it functioned correctly for me.
Ease of use
As far as setting it up and running, it is very easy to use. It is very straightforward.
Support
I had an issue wherein support just gave up on me.
I was using version 3.4.2. I had to load version 3.0.0 to work.
Documentation
Documentation is clear and easy to understand. In most cases, one need only refer to it once or twice.
I used this to: Creating 300 pages for graduating Seniors from our local community college.

It Works fine!



Posted on 17 October 2016
Functionality
I imported over 450 articles with Excel file (.xls) in minutes,
just works fine as said.
Ease of use
Takes a little time to understand all the settings.
I think it's need a better user interface.
Documentation
Can be more specific for end users, it's more like a tech note now.
The hints popup in admin area says much more than formal Documentation.
I used this to: Import articles from non-joomla based content though hand-made excel files,
50 articles a time.

This extension is a real time-saver when it comes to creating large amounts of articles. Setup is straight forward.
Ease of use
Setup takes a bit of time but once it's done you just select your Excel file and press upload. Couldn't be easier to created bulk articles.
