How to convert XLSX to ODS

  1. Add your XLSX spreadsheets

    Drop XLSX (Excel) files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.

  2. ODS is already chosen

    Press Convert. There is nothing else to set. The work happens in this tab.

  3. Download

    Save the ODS, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.

Why ToAny

  • Private by construction

    The XLSX to ODS converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your spreadsheets are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

  • No upload, no queue

    Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.

  • Free, without an account

    No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.

XLSX to ODS: what to expect

XLSX is awkward for scripts, databases and import tools that expect plain text. ODS is an open standard that LibreOffice uses natively. XLSX is at home in spreadsheets with formulas, formatting and several sheets; ODS is the usual choice for spreadsheets in open-source office suites.

Every sheet is kept, under its own name. ODS holds at most 1,048,576 rows and 16,384 columns per sheet.

Questions

Are my spreadsheets uploaded anywhere?

No. The XLSX to ODS conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

Is anything lost when converting XLSX to ODS?

The values are kept. Anything ODS has no way to express, such as formatting, formulas or nesting, is simplified or left out.

Can I convert several XLSX files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.

How do I convert XLSX to ODS on Windows, Mac, iPhone or Android?

The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the XLSX file, press Convert and save the ODS. There is nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

Yes. Spreadsheet files up to 150 MB are accepted; a larger file is refused with a message. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
