What is TXT?

TXT

TXT stores plain text using character encodings like ASCII (7-bit), UTF-8 (variable width), or UTF-16 (fixed width). No formatting, styles, fonts, or embedded objects—just raw character data with line breaks. Universal compatibility across all platforms and text editors. Extremely small file sizes. Maximum size limited by file system (typically multiple gigabytes possible). The simplest, most portable document format.

  • TXT preserves document structure with text, formatting, and layout information

What is XLS?

XLS

XLS is Excel's legacy binary format using BIFF (Binary Interchange File Format) within OLE compound document structure. Stores worksheets, formulas, formatting, charts, and macros. No compression—larger files than XLSX. Maximum 65,536 rows and 256 columns per sheet. Gradually replaced by XLSX since Office 2007 but widely compatible with older systems.

  • XLS is a spreadsheet format
