About OLS files

OLS files are primarily associated with OLE for Process Control, a widely used format for managing manufacturing and industrial processes. Despite their utility in specific sectors, OLS files can present challenges when attempting to convert them to more common formats. This can be due to their specialized nature and the technical knowledge required for conversion.

Commonly, users might want to convert OLS files to formats such as CSV, XLS, PDF, or TXT for easier data manipulation and sharing. Unfortunately, direct conversion tools for OLS files are scarce, and often require robust software solutions like Microsoft Excel or Apache OpenOffice for Excel and OpenDocument formats, respectively. When dealing with these files, it's crucial to ensure data integrity and formatting are maintained during conversion.

Considerations for converting OLS files include ensuring compatibility with the target software, maintaining data accuracy, and managing potential formatting issues. These files can be complex and may sometimes include proprietary elements that are not easily transferable.

Despite these challenges, converting OLS files is important for broader usability and accessibility. While traditional software solutions exist, they can be cumbersome and require a steep learning curve, making them less than ideal for quick, everyday use.

The OLS Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.

When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.

Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best OLS converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
