What does the DOC to XLS converter do?
+
It converts a DOC document into XLS. Text, paragraph styles, tables, and embedded images are preserved as closely as the target format allows.
Will the formatting of my DOC survive the conversion to XLS?
+
Headings, paragraph styles, tables, and embedded images carry across. Advanced layout (text boxes, complex columns, macros) may simplify when XLS does not support the feature one-for-one.
Is the DOC to XLS conversion reversible?
+
You can convert the XLS back to DOC on this site. If either format involved is lossy, the round-trip is not bit-perfect even though it is visually or audibly close.
What output quality should I expect from DOC to XLS?
+
Default settings target broadcast / web quality — visually identical to the source for most viewers. For archival use, pick the highest quality option in the converter settings.
Is there a file-size limit when converting DOC to XLS?
+
Anonymous uploads are capped at a generous default; signed-in free accounts get a higher cap, and Pro accounts have no per-file limit. Browser memory is usually the practical constraint long before our server-side limits kick in.
Can I batch-convert several DOC files to XLS at once?
+
Yes. Drop or pick multiple DOC files in one upload — the converter processes them in parallel and returns a ZIP of the XLS results. There is no need to repeat the upload step per file.
What happens to my DOC files after the conversion?
+
Uploaded files and XLS outputs are auto-deleted after a short retention window. We do not inspect, share, or train on user files. Direct download links are time-limited and tied to your session.
Can I edit the XLS after converting from DOC?
+
Yes — XLS opens in Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice, and most office suites. Text, formatting, and tables are editable.
Do I need to install software to convert DOC to XLS?
+
No. The converter runs entirely in your browser plus our cloud — no plugin, no install, no admin rights. It works on Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, iOS, and Android.
Do I need an account to convert DOC to XLS?
+
No. DOC to XLS conversion is free and works without an account. Signing in unlocks higher file-size caps, batch history, and API access.
Is there an API for DOC to XLS conversion?
+
Yes. Every conversion this site offers is also exposed via a JSON API — see /api/ for endpoints, authentication, and rate limits. DOC to XLS is one of the supported pairs.
What if my DOC fails to convert to XLS?
+
Failures are usually caused by corrupted source files or unsupported DOC variants. Re-export from the original app and try again; if it still fails, the contact page forwards the file to support so we can diagnose.
