Turn ODS files into Excel documents in a couple of clicks — the file you get is a .xlsx, which is what Excel saves and opens. The open standard spreadsheet format. Content is preserved and the layout is rebuilt for the target format.

ODS files (.ods) · up to 100 MB each
or paste files from your clipboard
Ready when you are
Drop a ODS file above and FileTools360 will turn it into XLSX — right here on your device, without uploading anything.
Drag them onto the drop area, choose them from your device, or paste them from your clipboard. You can queue several at once. Nothing is sent anywhere — the file stays on this device.
The defaults suit most people. Open Advanced to control delimiter and header handling.
Press Convert. Everything happens on your own device — nothing is uploaded. Download files one by one, or grab them all as a ZIP.
Privacy, in plain words
What “uploaded” normally means. On most online converters, pressing the button copies your file across the internet onto a computer owned by that website. That copy is what the word “upload” means, and it is the part nobody explains.
What happens instead. This site does not do it. There is no server here that receives files, so your ODS file is read, converted and handed back by the browser you are using right now. It never travels — so there is no copy to store, read, leak or hand over.
Check it yourself in ten seconds
Turn off your Wi-Fi after this page has loaded, then convert a file anyway. It still works, because everything needed is already on your device.
The longer explanation of how this works, and the full detail of what is and is not stored on the privacy page.
A spreadsheet is rarely about one person. It is usually about hundreds of them, which is what turns an ordinary file into a reportable data breach. It matters more than it sounds, because of what spreadsheets usually are:
Customer and member lists
names, emails, phone numbers, addresses
Patient or client records
regulated personal data under HIPAA, GDPR and similar
Financial models and forecasts
numbers a competitor would pay for
Supplier pricing
commercially confidential by contract, usually
A file that is never sent cannot be kept, leaked, subpoenaed or used to train anything. That is a property of how this works, not a promise about how carefully it is run.
ODS is the OpenDocument spreadsheet format, the open-standard counterpart to XLSX used by LibreOffice Calc.
XLSX is Excel's modern format — a ZIP of XML holding cells, formulas, formatting, multiple sheets, charts and pivot tables.
The two formats solve different problems, which is why converting between them involves trade-offs rather than a straight upgrade.
| Property | Source | Target |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Lossless | Lossless |
| Introduced | 2005 | 2007 |
| Browser support | LibreOffice natively, Excel with basic fidelity. | Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers, LibreOffice. |
People make this switch when they run into the limits of ODS: sharing complex workbooks with Excel users. XLSX is the better fit when the data needs calculation, formatting or more than one sheet.
The content survives; the layout is rebuilt. Text and the order it is read in carry across, but XLSX lays the page out again rather than reproducing ODS's exact positioning, so line breaks, page breaks and spacing will differ. Anything that depends on precise placement is worth checking in the result.
It depends entirely on the content: across the samples the XLSX ranged from 19% smaller to 1.6× larger, with a middle case 1.3× larger.
| Sample | ODS in | XLSX out | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| A plain tableTen rows of flat records — the shape almost every spreadsheet export actually has. | 14.5 KB | 17.5 KB | +21% |
| Many columnsForty columns across three rows. Column-heavy data is where per-cell overhead shows up. | 25.1 KB | 20.3 KB | −19% |
| Nested recordsObjects inside objects. This is the shape that cannot survive a flat format intact, and the one that triggers a warning. | 11.6 KB | 16.8 KB | +45% |
| Commas and quotation marksText fields containing the delimiter and the quote character — where an escaping bug would show. | 10.8 KB | 17.2 KB | +59% |
Produced by this site's own converter. The same code that runs in your browser, at the same default settings, so these are the bytes you would download.
Samples are generated from a fixed seed rather than taken from real photographs or documents, so the corpus is reproducible and carries no licensing question — and so the numbers predict the shape of your result rather than its exact size.
