Convert Excel to ODS

This tool converts an Excel spreadsheet to an OpenDocument Spreadsheet (.ods) for LibreOffice Calc and OpenOffice, preserving tables and formatting.

When to use it

  • Open an Excel file in LibreOffice/OpenOffice natively.
  • Move to an open, standard spreadsheet format.
  • Share a sheet with people who use free office suites.

Private & secure

Your Excel workbook is converted to an OpenDocument .ods with LibreOffice on our server, formulas and formatting preserved. The upload is encrypted, the work runs in a disposable workspace, and it is wiped the moment the .ods is returned.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are my files uploaded to a server?

Yes. Converting .xlsx to a faithful .ods uses LibreOffice on the server, so the file is uploaded for the conversion. It is isolated for that request and removed once the ODS is sent.

Is it free? Is there a watermark or size limit?

Completely free, no sign-up, and no watermark. Excel files up to 100 MB each are accepted.
