Frequently asked questions

Does converting XLS to XLSX change the formatting or the contents?

Xls maps to xlsx in a single step. Handled by libreoffice.

Do my files stay on your servers?

For members, files live only in your own company drive and no other company can see them. As a guest, everything is deleted after 24 hours. Retention varies by plan and you can delete anything yourself at any time.

Can I convert several files at once?

Yes. Drop in as many as you like — we show only the targets every file can reach, then convert them together.

Do I need to install anything?

No, it runs in your browser. A Windows build exists but is optional; it adds watched folders and an Explorer right-click menu.

Is it free?

You can try it without signing up, and free members get a set number of conversions each month. Larger files or higher volume need a paid plan.

Does it work offline?

No. Files are processed on our servers, so you need an internet connection. The desktop app uses the same servers.

What are the steps, in short?

Drop the file into OmniDesk, set options if you need to, and press start. Download the result when it finishes — usually within seconds to a few minutes.

Can I do it online, in the browser?

Yes. It opens straight from omnidesk.win and runs in Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox — nothing to install.
