Excel 97-2003 Workbook (XLS) is the original binary spreadsheet format of Microsoft Excel, built on the Binary Interchange File Format and used as the default until Excel 2007. An XLS stores worksheets, formulas, charts, and formatting in one proprietary file, and it can also carry VBA macros. Its main limitations are a ceiling of 65,536 rows per sheet and a greater risk of file corruption than the newer XLSX.
How to open an XLS file?
Current versions of Excel still open XLS in Compatibility Mode and offer to upgrade the file to XLSX.
LibreOffice Calc, Google Sheets, and Apple Numbers all read XLS. Because XLS files can contain macros, treat unexpected attachments with caution. Converting your archive keeps it safe and compact — our XLS to XLSX and XLS to PDF tools handle the job.
