XLSX is Microsoft's proprietary Open XML format, while ODS (OpenDocument Spreadsheet) is the open ISO standard format used by LibreOffice Calc, Google Sheets, and other open-source tools. Converting XLSX to ODS removes vendor lock-in and makes your data interoperable with any compliant application.

Our XLSX to ODS converter uses LibreOffice to re-encode your spreadsheet in the ODF Calc 8 format. Worksheets, named ranges, cell formulas, and data validation rules are all preserved during the conversion.

ODS is the preferred format in many public sector organisations and academic institutions because it is vendor-neutral and fully open. Files remain readable decades from now without depending on Microsoft Office licences or proprietary software.

While virtually all spreadsheet features convert cleanly, Excel-specific VBA macros are not supported in ODS. Basic formulas and functions (SUM, IF, VLOOKUP, etc.) are fully compatible with LibreOffice Calc after conversion.
