Why convert XLR to GIF?
An XLR file is a spreadsheet from Microsoft Works, the home office suite that shipped with many Windows PCs. The GIF shows the spreadsheet's cells as LibreOffice Calc prints them, with calculated values, number formats and text laid out in their rows and columns.
GIF stores the image with an optimised palette of up to 256 colours, which suits text, diagrams and flat colour.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert XLR to GIF?
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 a GIF image, ready to download.
Are currency and date formats in a XLR kept in the GIF?
Yes. LibreOffice Calc reads each cell's number format, so currency amounts, percentages and dates print in the GIF as they appear in Works.
Do formula cells in a XLR show their results in the GIF?
Yes. Formula cells print their calculated values, so totals and other results read in the GIF just as they do on screen in the spreadsheet.
What happens when a XLR file fills several GIF pages?
Each page is rendered at 144 dpi and saved as its own GIF image, named page-1, page-2 and so on, and they download together as one ZIP. A single page downloads as one GIF file.
How are colours handled in the XLR to GIF image?
GIF uses a palette of up to 256 colours. The converter builds an optimised palette from the rendered image, which keeps text, lines and solid colours clean.
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.
