About XLS and PARQUET

XLS is the binary file format used by Microsoft Excel versions 97 through 2003. It uses a structured storage file format (Compound File Binary Format). While still widely supported, it has largely been superseded by the XML-based XLSX format.

Conversion Notes
XLS and PARQUET use different internal structures, and our converter handles the mapping automatically. Text content, core data, and primary media streams are preserved. Format-specific features with no equivalent in the target — proprietary metadata, platform-specific extensions, or advanced layout instructions — are omitted from the output file.
