    How It Works

    How to Convert XLSM

    STEP 1

    Click inside the file drop area to upload your XLSM file or drag & drop it.

    Locate your XLSM file on your device—typically used for various purposes. Ensure the file is under 50MB to avoid upload issues. If the upload fails, check your internet connection or try compressing the file first.

    STEP 2

    Choose the format you want to convert your XLSM file to and click 'Convert'.

    Choose your desired format based on your needs—different formats suit different purposes, like JPEG for smaller file sizes. The conversion process typically takes a few seconds, depending on file size and server load.

    STEP 3

    Download your converted file instantly after conversion.

    Once the conversion is complete, click the download link to save your converted file. You can then open it in software like a compatible viewer. If the file doesn’t download, ensure your browser allows pop-ups from RunConvert.

    STEP 4

    You can also send a link to the converted file via email. (Optional)

    Enter an email address to receive a secure link to your converted file, which is useful for sharing with clients or accessing later. Links expire after 24 hours for security, and RunConvert ensures your data is protected during transmission.

    What is XLSM (Excel Macro-Enabled Spreadsheet)?

    XLSM (Excel Macro-Enabled Spreadsheet) is a Microsoft Excel file format that allows users to store spreadsheets with embedded macros. Macros are small programs or scripts used to automate repetitive tasks within Excel.

    XLSM files are commonly used by advanced users who want to extend Excel’s functionality through custom code written in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). These files are useful for automating complex tasks or workflows.

    How to open XLSM?

    XLSM files can be opened using Microsoft Excel. Simply double-click the file, and it will open in Excel. When opening an XLSM file, Excel will prompt you to enable or disable macros, depending on your security settings.

    If you do not have Excel, you can also open XLSM files in LibreOffice Calc, but macros will not be supported.
