Can I convert multiple XLS files to CSV at once?

Yes! Batch conversion is supported. Free users can convert up to 1 file at a time, while registered users can convert up to 50 files simultaneously depending on their plan (Basic: 5 files, Bronze: 10 files, Silver: 25 files, Gold: 50 files). Simply upload multiple XLS files and they'll all be converted to CSV.

How long does XLS to CSV conversion take?

Conversion time depends on file size, complexity, and current queue. Most XLS to CSV conversions complete within seconds to a few minutes. Larger files or complex conversions may take longer. Premium users enjoy priority processing with faster conversion times.

What's the maximum file size I can convert?

File size limits depend on your account tier: • Non-members: 250MB • Basic (Free): 500MB • Bronze ($4.99/mo): 2GB • Silver ($9.99/mo): 5GB • Gold ($19.99/mo): 10GB For larger files, please upgrade to a premium plan.

Do you store my converted files?

We temporarily store your files to enable conversion and download. Files are automatically deleted after a retention period based on your account tier: • Non-members: 6 hours • Basic: 24 hours • Bronze: 7 days • Silver: 30 days • Gold: 60 days After this period, files are permanently deleted from our servers. We never share your files with third parties.

Will document formatting be preserved?

We strive to preserve formatting as accurately as possible, including fonts, layouts, images, and tables. However, some complex formatting may change due to differences between document formats. For critical documents, review the converted file to ensure formatting meets your needs. Advanced options like "embed fonts" can improve compatibility.
