How do I convert XLSX to TXT step by step?

Using LetsConvert, upload your XLSX file, choose TXT as the output format, and click Convert. The tool processes the workbook and extracts the cell values from each sheet into a plain-text document, with tabs or commas separating columns. You can then download the TXT file instantly.

Why convert from XLSX to TXT?

XLSX is a zipped XML format that stores rich content like formulas, formatting, charts, and multiple sheets. TXT is a minimal plain-text format containing only raw character data. Converting to TXT makes your spreadsheet data usable in any text editor, legacy database import, or plain-text processing tool, and reduces file size by removing all XML overhead.

What does the XLSX to TXT conversion do with formulas and formatting?

During conversion, only the current displayed values of cells are exported. Formulas are not preserved; their computed results are written as plain text. All cell styling, colors, fonts, and number formats are stripped. If the workbook contains multiple sheets, each sheet is converted to a separate TXT file, or you can choose to concatenate them into one based on your settings.
