What is a XLS file?
XLS is the proprietary spreadsheet format used by Microsoft Excel prior to the introduction of XLSX in 2007. It uses a binary file structure and supports formulas, charts, macros, and formatting.
XLS files remain widely compatible and are still used in many organizations. However, XLSX offers better performance and security.
How to open XLS files
XLS files can be opened using Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc, and other spreadsheet applications. They support charts, formulas, and formatting.
To ensure compatibility and security, convert XLS to XLSX or ODS using AnyConv or within Excel itself.

What is a BMP file?
BMP (Bitmap) is a raster image format developed by Microsoft. It stores image data pixel by pixel, which makes it simple and widely supported but often results in large file sizes due to a lack of compression.
BMP is mostly used in Windows environments and ideal for storing high-quality images where file size is not a concern. It supports various color depths and is easy to process programmatically.
How to open BMP files
BMP files are supported natively on all major operating systems — including Windows, macOS, and Linux. You can open them with default tools like Paint, Preview, or with editing software like GIMP, Photoshop, or IrfanView.
They can also be converted easily using online platforms such as AnyConv.
