Why convert XLR to BMP?
An XLR file is a spreadsheet from Microsoft Works, the home office suite that shipped with many Windows PCs. The BMP shows the spreadsheet's cells as LibreOffice Calc prints them, with calculated values, number formats and text laid out in their rows and columns.
BMP stores every pixel uncompressed, so the image is exact and simple to read by any software that handles Windows bitmaps.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert XLR to BMP?
Drop your XLR file above and press Convert. Our servers open the Works spreadsheet in LibreOffice Calc, print it to a PDF and render each page as an image. The result is saved as an uncompressed BMP bitmap, ready to download.
Are currency and date formats in a XLR kept in the BMP?
Yes. LibreOffice Calc reads each cell's number format, so currency amounts, percentages and dates print in the BMP as they appear in Works.
Do formula cells in a XLR show their results in the BMP?
Yes. Formula cells print their calculated values, so totals and other results read in the BMP just as they do on screen in the spreadsheet.
What happens when a XLR file fills several BMP pages?
Each page is rendered at 144 dpi and saved as its own BMP image, named page-1, page-2 and so on, and they download together as one ZIP. A single page downloads as one BMP file.
What kind of BMP does the XLR converter create?
A standard Windows bitmap with every pixel stored uncompressed, so the image is an exact copy of the rendered result.
Is my .xlr file kept private?
Your file is uploaded over an encrypted connection, converted on our servers and deleted automatically within 24 hours. We never read, share or keep your files, and no account is needed.
