Convert XLC files online for free
The converter easily converts your XLC file to various formats - free and online. No Excel or extra software needed.
The converter also works in reverse, so you can convert other Spreadsheet formats to XLC with high quality output.
The .XLC file extension primarily represents a legacy Excel Chart created by versions 2.0 through 4.0 of Microsoft Excel. Unlike modern Excel files that bundle charts and data into a single XLSX or XLS workbook, these older versions saved charts as standalone files. This format is a common headache today: modern Office security settings often block legacy binary formats by default to prevent macro viruses, and mobile viewers rarely support them. To preserve the data or visual graph, the best workflow is converting the .XLC file to a standard XLSX workbook for editing, or to PDF and PNG for broad compatibility and archiving.
Outside of office environments, .XLC files frequently appear as game data archives - specifically localization strings or audio maps - in titles from Electronic Arts (e.g., Harry Potter PC games) and Konami (Pro Evolution Soccer). These are often proprietary binary or semi-text formats that cannot be opened with standard text editors without causing corruption. Users also encounter .XLC files when programming Baofeng handheld radios, where the file stores channel configurations. For these non-Excel cases, converting to TXT or CSV is often the only way to inspect the raw data structure, though specialized modding tools are required for repacking.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our XLC converter.
