Frequently Asked Questions About Converting JPG to XLS

Find quick answers to common questions about converting JPG images to XLS spreadsheets. This short FAQ explains how the process works, the best settings to use, file limits, privacy details, and tips to get accurate results—so you can convert your files with confidence.

What is the difference between a JPG and an XLS file?

A JPG (or JPEG) is an image file format used for photos and graphics. It uses lossy compression to reduce file size, which may slightly reduce quality, and is ideal for web images, social media, and digital photography. JPGs store visual data (pixels) and are widely supported across devices and apps.

An XLS file is a spreadsheet format used by Microsoft Excel. It stores data in tables with cells, formulas, charts, and macros, making it suitable for calculations, data analysis, and reporting. Unlike JPG, an XLS contains structured, editable data rather than images and is primarily used for productivity and business tasks.

Will the conversion keep tables and cell formatting accurately?

Yes—our converter is designed to preserve tables and cell formatting (borders, merging, alignment, fonts, and background colors) as accurately as possible; however, extremely complex layouts or rare styles may see minor differences, so we recommend checking the output and, if needed, using the highest quality settings and uploading the original source for best results.

Can the tool extract text and numbers from scanned or photographed JPGs (OCR)?

Yes—our tool can perform OCR to extract text and numbers from scanned or photographed JPG images. For best results, ensure the image is clear, well-lit, and properly oriented; heavily blurred, skewed, or low-resolution images may reduce accuracy. After processing, you can copy or download the recognized text, and you can refine results by re-uploading a cleaner or higher-resolution version.

What is the maximum file size and are there limits on the number of conversions?

The maximum file size supported per upload is 100 MB. Files larger than this limit cannot be processed and will prompt an error.

There is a daily conversion limit of 50 files per user to ensure stable performance for everyone. Hitting this limit will temporarily pause further conversions until the next 24-hour cycle.

For best results, keep individual files under the size cap and queue your conversions in batches. If you need higher limits, consider splitting large files or reducing resolution/quality before uploading.

Is my data secure and are files deleted after conversion?

Yes—your data is protected with HTTPS encryption during upload and download, and we apply strict access controls so only the conversion process can handle your files. We never use your content for training, analytics, or sharing with third parties.

Converted files and originals are automatically deleted from our servers, typically within a short retention window after the conversion completes. You can also remove them sooner using the delete option provided after your download.

Can I convert multiple JPGs to a single XLS file (batch or merge)?

Yes, you can combine multiple JPG images into a single XLS file, but it usually involves two steps: extracting the images’ text (if needed) via OCR and then consolidating the results into one spreadsheet. If you only want the images embedded (not text), most tools let you insert multiple JPGs into one workbook across separate sheets or a single sheet.

For text extraction, use an OCR-to-Excel tool to convert each JPG to a table or text, then merge the outputs into one XLS by copying sheets or appending rows. For image embedding, open Excel and use Insert > Pictures to add all JPGs; you can arrange them on one sheet or one sheet per image, then save as XLS/XLSX.

For batch automation, consider command-line or workflow tools that support bulk OCR and export to Excel, then programmatically merge files. Tip: ensure consistent image quality (resolution, contrast) for better OCR accuracy, and standardize table layouts to align columns when merging.

How do I handle rotated or low-quality images to improve recognition?

For rotated images, first ensure the correct orientation before processing: rotate using 90° increments until text is upright, or apply an auto-orientation step that reads EXIF data. If EXIF is missing, rely on a quick visual check or an OCR tool with auto-rotate capability. After rotation, crop away borders and straighten slight tilts with a deskew filter to maximize clarity.

For low-quality images, increase resolution (bicubic upscaling), boost contrast, and reduce noise with a mild denoise or sharpening pass. Improve text visibility using grayscale conversion, binarization (Otsu/adaptive), and adjust brightness to avoid washed-out areas. Keep compression low when saving, and prefer lossless formats during editing to preserve detail before recognition.

Will formulas be detected or will the output be plain values only?

The output will be plain values only; any formulas present in the original file will not be preserved or executed, and the result will not include editable formula logic—only the computed results where applicable.
