About XSM files

XSM files, associated primarily with Microsoft Excel, are used for storing macro-enabled spreadsheet files, which include both data and macros written in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). These files are useful for automating repetitive tasks within spreadsheets but come with certain limitations and challenges.

Converting XSM files can be complex due to the embedded macros, which may not be supported by all formats. Common conversion targets include XLSX, XLS, CSV, and ODS. It is crucial to ensure that the target format supports macros if you intend to retain this functionality. For more information on macro-enabled files, you can refer to the Wikipedia page on Microsoft Excel File Formats.

To convert XSM files, you can use software like Microsoft Excel, which offers native support for saving files in different formats. Alternatively, LibreOffice Calc is a free option that can handle XSM files and convert them to various formats, albeit with potential macro compatibility issues.

While XSM files offer powerful automation capabilities, they pose security risks due to the potential for malicious macros. Additionally, their compatibility with non-Excel applications is limited, making it difficult to share and collaborate on these files with users of different software.

For these reasons, using a trusted and easy-to-use tool like Convert.Guru is recommended. By simply dragging and dropping your XSM files onto the website, you can convert them to a variety of formats, ensuring compatibility and accessibility without the hassle of compatibility issues or security concerns.

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