What is an XLS to XLSX converter?
XLS is the legacy Excel format used up to 2003. Modern tools, online platforms and data pipelines expect XLSX, which is smaller, supports far more rows and is easier for software to read. An XLS to XLSX converter re-saves the workbook in the modern format.
For files that rely on charts or macros, open them in Excel and use Save As instead.
All sheets kept
Every worksheet in the workbook is converted, including hidden ones.
Values and formulas
Cell contents, number formats and formulas are carried over.
Also reads ODS and XLSM
OpenDocument spreadsheets and macro-enabled workbooks can be saved as plain XLSX as well.
Advanced formatting may be simplified
Charts, images, macros and some styling are not preserved by this converter.
