Answers to common questions about converting Lotus spreadsheets, preserving originals, and choosing output formats.
No. The converter is a standalone Windows desktop application and does not require the original Lotus software.
Yes. The free trial converts up to 10 files with full features — no signup and no watermarks. A lifetime license is a one-time $39.95 purchase.
Standard converts Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheets locally. Plus unlocks Conversion Library — search, tags, knowledge maps, and spreadsheet previews of the workbooks you converted. Same installer; unlock with a Plus key ($29.95 add-on, or $69.90 for Standard + Plus). Nothing is uploaded.
Legacy spreadsheet conversion depends on the original file and the features it used. For important records, convert a sample and review formulas, dates, ranges, and formatting before running the entire archive.
Choose XLSX for editable review, CSV for analytics import, PDF for fixed archive snapshots, HTML for browser-readable review, and Markdown for text-first AI workflows.
