About WKI files

WKI files are associated with Lotus 1-2-3, a spreadsheet program that was popular in the late 1980s and 1990s. These files typically contain spreadsheet data, including formulas, numbers, and text. Despite their historical significance, WKI files are now considered outdated, making compatibility a challenge with modern software.

When it comes to converting WKI files, several desktop software solutions are available. Programs like LibreOffice and Microsoft Excel are capable of opening WKI files and saving them in more contemporary formats such as XLS, XLSX, CSV, and ODS. A critical consideration during conversion is ensuring that all formulas and data are accurately preserved, as discrepancies can occur due to differences in how older and newer software handle these elements.

One of the main drawbacks of using WKI files is their limited compatibility with current software applications, which can make data retrieval cumbersome. Additionally, certain formatting and macros might not translate well during conversion, leading to potential data loss or corruption.

Given these challenges, it's recommended to convert WKI files to more widely accepted formats to ensure better accessibility and usability. While desktop software offers solutions, they may require specific knowledge and software installations.

The WKI 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 WKI converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
