About this tool

SLK (SYLK, Symbolic Link) is an old Microsoft format for exchanging one table; it stores only basic Latin letters reliably. XLS is the older Excel 97–2003 workbook format that every spreadsheet program still opens.

This converter turns your SLK file into XLS, the right choice for old versions of Excel and programs that only accept XLS. Every sheet, value, formula, number format and cell style is taken over, so you can keep working with the XLS file in your spreadsheet program. Add up to 10 files at once – each one is converted in the background, so you can keep using the site and download every result as soon as it is ready.

Spreadsheets are converted on our server: the upload starts only after you confirm, the original is deleted after conversion and the result is kept for 7 days unless you delete it sooner.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert SLK to XLS?

Choose or drop your SLK file, keep XLS as the output and click Convert. After you confirm the upload, our server converts the file and shows the progress; then you download the XLS file.

Can I convert several SLK files at once?

Yes. Add up to 10 files at a time. Each gets its own background job with its own progress, and you can download each result as soon as it is finished.

How large can the file be?

Each file can be up to 100 MB.

What happens to my file?

It is uploaded only after you confirm. The original is deleted as soon as the conversion is finished, and the XLS file is kept for 7 days so you can download it – you can delete it yourself at any time.

Is the SLK to XLS converter free?

Yes. It is free, without sign-up and without a watermark.

Are formulas and formatting kept?

Yes – every sheet, value, formula, number format, cell style and merged cell is kept. Charts, pivot tables and macros can be simplified, because every spreadsheet program stores them a little differently, so check the result.
