XLS.now is an online Excel and XLS converter with a REST API for programmatic file conversions.

The platform supports batch processing, automatic file deletion, secure HTTPS uploads, and user accounts with billing. It includes a dashboard for API key management, usage tracking, and credit purchases available as one-off buys or monthly subscriptions.

Questions from the bench

How does the XLS.now API conversion process work?
The API uses a three-step asynchronous process. First, submit a file via POST /api/v1/convert with the file and converter slug, which returns a job_id immediately. Second, poll GET /api/v1/jobs/{job_id} until the status is completed or failed, typically finishing in under a second. Third, download the result from the download_url provided in the completed job response.
What happens if I exceed my API rate limit or monthly quota?
If you exceed the per-minute rate limit, the API returns 429 and you can retry shortly after. If you exhaust your monthly quota, the API returns 402 until the period resets. Over-quota requests are refused without being charged, preventing surprise invoices from runaway scripts.
Are rejected API requests charged?
No. Requests rejected by the API—such as bad authentication keys, rate limit violations, or unknown converters—are never charged. Even if a credit is initially deducted but the job fails to queue, the credit is automatically refunded.
What file retention and security measures are in place?
Uploads use HTTPS with files isolated during processing. Guest files are automatically deleted after 24 hours, Free Account files after 7 days, Premium after 365 days, and Premium Plus files indefinitely. Content is never shared or indexed.
Is it really free?
Yes — all core image conversion tools are free with no account required and no credit card ever needed. The free tier and Free Account plan are free forever.
