View your XLS here

Why view a XLS?

Opening an XLS file usually means having Excel installed, or hunting for a compatible spreadsheet app on whatever device you're using. If you're on a phone, a shared work computer, or a machine that only has Google Docs or a basic text editor, that spreadsheet someone sent you might as well be locked. You end up asking a colleague to forward a screenshot instead, or waiting until you're back at your own desk, which can hold up decisions that shouldn't need to wait.

Zamzar's XLS viewer gets around this by processing your file and displaying it through an embedded viewer in your browser, so you can see the rows, columns and formatting without installing anything. Just upload the file and view it straight away.

This comes in handy in plenty of everyday situations. An accountant might want to check figures in a client's spreadsheet from their tablet between meetings. A student could open a timetable or dataset on a library computer that doesn't have Office installed. Someone job hunting might need to quickly check a spreadsheet attachment on their phone while out and about. In each case, you get to see what's in the file without the usual friction of software compatibility.
