How do I convert XLS to TXT using this tool?

Upload your XLS file, select TXT as the output format, and optionally choose a delimiter (tab, comma, or semicolon). The tool converts each row into a text line, and you can download the TXT file instantly.

Why should I convert XLS to TXT instead of keeping the spreadsheet format?

TXT files are universally compatible with plain-text editors, data pipelines, and legacy databases. Unlike XLS, TXT removes formatting and formulas, making it ideal for raw data import/export and reducing file size significantly.

What happens to formulas, multiple sheets, and formatting during XLS to TXT conversion?

Formulas are evaluated and replaced by their computed values. Formatting is stripped, and cell data is delimited by your chosen separator. If the XLS contains multiple sheets, each sheet is processed sequentially; you can choose to merge all sheets into one TXT or export each as a separate file.

Is XLS-TO-TXT free to use?

Yes, XLS-TO-TXT on LetsConvert is 100% free with no registration or hidden fees required.

Are my uploaded files safe and secure?

Does this converter work on mobile phones and tablets?

Yes! XLS-TO-TXT works seamlessly across iPhone, Android, iPad, Mac, Windows, and Linux browsers without installing any app.

Is there any software installation required?

No software or browser extension installation is needed. All conversions are performed directly online.
