How to convert wbd to xls file

Old formats from Microsoft Works are unfortunately not supported in modern software, which leaves you pretty much with two options. You can either  find installation discs of Works and export your files to CSV format, or find a conversion utility that allows you convert WBD databases to XLS format directly. Alas, we do not know about any utility capable of direct wbd to xls conversion at the moment.

Understanding WBD and XLS file formats

The WBD file format is typically associated with Webshots, a popular desktop wallpaper and screensaver application. These files are used to store image data and are not commonly used for data storage or manipulation.

On the other hand, the XLS file format is a well-known spreadsheet format used by Microsoft Excel. It is widely used for storing, organizing, and analyzing data in tabular form. XLS files can contain a variety of data types, including text, numbers, and formulas.

Converting WBD to XLS

Converting a WBD file to an XLS file is not a straightforward process, as these formats serve different purposes. However, if you need to extract data from a WBD file and convert it into a spreadsheet format, you may need to use a multi-step approach involving image extraction and data entry.

Best software for WBD to XLS conversion

Since direct conversion from WBD to XLS is not possible, you can use the following approach:

  • Image Extraction Software: Use software like Webshots Desktop to extract images from the WBD file.
  • Data Entry: Manually enter the extracted data into an Excel spreadsheet.

For more advanced users, you can use Python scripts with libraries like PIL (Python Imaging Library) to automate image extraction and pandas to create an XLS file.

Steps to manually convert WBD to XLS

  1. Open the WBD file using Webshots Desktop or a similar tool.
  2. Extract the images or data you need from the WBD file.
  3. Open Microsoft Excel and create a new spreadsheet.
  4. Manually enter the extracted data into the spreadsheet.
  5. Save the file by selecting File → Save As and choose the XLS format.
