Got an old .PXL spreadsheet you can’t open in modern Excel? This online PXL-to-XLSX converter turns legacy
Pocket Excel files (from Windows CE / Pocket PC / Handheld PCs) into a clean, editable .xlsx
workbook in seconds. Just upload your .pxl
, choose XLSX, and download a file you can use in
Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, or LibreOffice—no plugins, no installs.
Pocket Excel stored data in a compact, mobile-era format with limited styling and older date/number conventions. Our converter reads those structures and rebuilds them as real Excel sheets and tables.
Because PXL is lightweight, some rich features (complex formulas, advanced styles) may not exist in the original. When formulas aren’t present, we keep the computed values. Basic formatting is normalized so your result starts tidy in Excel.
Reports exported to PXL often mix text labels with numbers. We try to infer headers and align columns automatically. After conversion:
If your file fails to open or doesn’t look like a spreadsheet, make sure it’s a Pocket Excel PXL.
Some unrelated printer files also use the .pxl
extension—those are PCL XL, not spreadsheets.
When in doubt, try re-exporting from the original device/app or convert that printer-type file via a different path
(for example, to PDF first, then to Excel).
The conversion runs in your browser—nothing to install and no signup required. For frequent or large jobs, explore CoolUtils desktop tools: batch processing, folder watching, command-line runs, custom naming, and detailed logs make recurring workflows painless. From vintage handheld data to a modern, shareable workbook, this PXL-to-XLSX converter gets you from legacy to ready to analyze fast.
