XLS Preguntas frecuentes sobre la conversión
What is a XLS document?
+
XLS is a spreadsheet format. It stores tabular data with formulas, cell formatting, charts and pivot-table references. Converting XLS to CSV strips everything but the raw cell values, which is exactly what you want for data import; converting to PDF preserves the look-and-feel for sharing.
What is the best format to convert XLS to?
+
For sharing without edits, convert XLS to PDF — every device opens it the same way. For further editing, convert to DOCX. For data extraction from spreadsheets, convert to CSV.
Does converting XLS preserve formatting?
+
When you convert XLS to a similar document format (Word, ODT, PDF), formatting, fonts, images and tables are preserved with high fidelity. When you convert to a plain-text format (TXT, MD), styling is stripped down to the underlying words.
Can MOV.to OCR a scanned XLS?
+
Yes. If your XLS is a scanned image of text rather than real text, MOV.to runs OCR on conversion to extract the words. The result is a searchable, copy-pasteable document.
Are formulas preserved when converting XLS?
+
When converting XLS to another spreadsheet format (XLSX, ODS), formulas, references and named ranges round-trip. When converting to CSV or PDF, formulas are flattened to their last computed values — the cell shows the number, not the formula.
Will my XLS file be private?
+
Yes. XLS uploads travel over HTTPS, sit on our server only long enough to convert, and are auto-deleted. We do not read or index document contents.
How big a XLS can I convert at once?
+
Free users go up to 100 MB — enough for most XLS files including image-heavy reports and long documents. Pro users get multiple GB per upload and batch conversion.
Can I edit a XLS on MOV.to after converting?
+
Yes — MOV.to ships in-browser editors for XLS-style documents: word editor, markdown editor, and read-only readers. Convert in, edit, export out without leaving the page.
Do I need Office or any paid software for XLS?
+
No. XLS conversion runs server-side. You do not need Microsoft Office, Adobe Acrobat or any local install — just a browser.
Is converting XLS free on MOV.to?
+
Yes — XLS conversion is free for everyday use. Premium plans unlock larger files, batch jobs, OCR for scanned documents, and document AI features (chat, summarize).
