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.

HTML5 (current standard) adds multimedia support, canvas graphics, and semantic elements. Files are human-readable text. No inherent size limits. Rendered differently across browsers. The foundation of web content and documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I convert several XLS files to HTML in one go?
Definitely. Free users can convert 3 .xls files simultaneously. Premium users get 20-file batches with ZIP packaging. All .html outputs preserve source quality and metadata.
Where do you store my XLS files?
We don't store XLS files. EU servers (Austria) process HTML conversions then immediately delete data. Files exist only during conversion—5 minutes maximum, often deleted within seconds.
Do you have size restrictions for XLS files?
Yes—100MB for free users, 500MB for Premium subscribers. Most XLS files fall within these limits. Compress oversized files or upgrade for higher capacity.

Small XLS files (under 10MB) typically convert to HTML in 5-15 seconds. Larger XLS files or complex spreadsheet content may require 20-45 seconds depending on conversion method and file characteristics.
