How do I convert a TXT file to XLS using this tool?

Upload your TXT file, select the delimiter used in your data (tab, comma, pipe, or custom), and click Convert. The tool parses each line into rows and splits fields into separate Excel columns. After conversion, download the resulting XLS file and open it in any spreadsheet application.

Why should I convert TXT to XLS instead of keeping it as plain text?

TXT files are unstructured and not compatible with spreadsheet functions. Converting to XLS allows you to use Excel's sorting, filtering, formulas, and charting tools. It also makes data easier to read, share, and analyze for business or research purposes.

How does the TXT to XLS conversion handle delimiters, encoding, and data types?

The converter detects the delimiter from your TXT file and preserves the original encoding (UTF-8, UTF-16, Windows-1252, etc.). Numeric values are automatically recognized and set as Excel number cells when they match a numeric pattern, while text stays as strings. Fields with leading zeros, such as ZIP codes or IDs, are kept in text format to prevent data loss. Quoted fields containing line breaks or special characters are correctly parsed.

Is TXT-TO-XLS free to use?
