What’s the difference between XLS and XLSX?
The XLS and XLSX file formats are file extensions used by Microsoft Excel. The XLS file format is an older format used by Microsoft Excel 2003 and earlier. With the release of Microsoft Excel 2007, Microsoft introduced the new XLSX file format based on the Open XML (Extensible Markup Language) standard. If you have Microsoft Excel 2003 or earlier, you’ll need to download the free Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack to open, edit, and save XLSX files.
Luckily, our PDF to Excel converter works with both XLS and XLSX.
