Batch XLSX to XLS Converter provides a simple tool for converting Excel file types. The program's layout is basic enough for any skill level to have success with.

The program's interface struck us as drastically different from other converters we'd tested. It was so basic--only containing a few commands--that we found experimenting for a few seconds was more helpful than reading the instructional Help file. The program avoided the pitfalls of other converters by not allowing us multiple options for conversion. We liked that XLS files were converted to XLSX files and vice versa, with no opportunities to change this process. We enjoyed the freedom to choose single files, multiple files, or entire folders for conversion. We expected the conversion to happen instantly, but it actually took almost a minute. However, this wasn't a huge inconvenience, especially since the test files all went to their intended destinations and kept all their data. The program also offered a nice special feature, its search engine, which helped us track down missing files. We were confident that even users who had never converted a file would move effortlessly through this program.

Batch XLSX to XLS Converter comes with a seven-day trial. While not as fast as we hoped, the program is still a great conversion tool and we recommend it.

Did not work for me
Jocelyn BoyerOctober 12, 2011
Pros
Good marketing but did not work when I try to re-open them with Excel 2003.
Cons
I feel the pay version work better but it is not free. The publicity then is misleading
Summary
I am sad.

Pros
Not sure if it would have worked, but my virus protection kicked in so I deleted it!
Cons
Not sure if it would have worked, but my virus protection kicked in so I deleted it!
Summary
I usually do not question whether or not a program downloaded off c.net is virus free and have never had a problem that I know of until now.
the software is OK to use

Pros
it does what is expected to do
Cons
nothing exciting
Summary
Don't download it.
richard041350March 13, 2011
Pros
I didn't get that far. I thought it was a 2 meg download; it linked to a 37 meg download. The regular MS converter which works well for is 27 megs and didn't force unwanted extras down my throat.
Cons
Even though I said to not install Bing or any other extra, it shoved the bing search window plus the bing search tool bar down my throat.
Summary
If you like Bing and your computer disregarding the options you select, the converter program may function for you. The faulty install procedure alone scared me off. I didn't see a zero star option here, or I would have marked it instead of 1.

Pros
There are no good points.
Cons
Crashes in Vista, fails to convert in XP, Worse, it changes your search provider without asking permission. Making that type of change to your system is inexcusable. The Editorial Review should have called them on that.
Summary
Don't use this product. Do not trust any other product from this company.

mohdademiJanuary 11, 2011
Pros

Summary
i like its capability to convert and i dislike if it is not be able to download
Didn't work for Excel 2007 -> Excel 2003
squidpantsDecember 14, 2010
Pros
It opened.
Cons
I received an Excel 2007.xlsx with 100,000 records. It didn't convert properly, it basically just did what opening the file in Excel 2003 does, it cuts off any record after 65k.
Summary
If you have the same version of Excel that you want to convert, then it's fine. Otherwise it's pointless.
Lousy software--
kmhoosOctober 21, 2010
Pros
NOTHING i CAN THINK OF
Cons
required payment to register and use product PLEASE DON'T LIE AND SAY SOMETHING IS FREE WHEN IT IS NOT.
Summary
Trail version works as expected
rleathersSeptember 20, 2010
Pros
Simple. Converted files as expected.
Cons
Trail version appears to only convert one file at a time if picking multiple files. However, process a whole folder full of files and it works great.
Summary
Good tool for conversion of XLSX to XLS. Very simple interface. Didn't really look at any of the advanced features because it did exactly what I needed out of the box.
