Convert XAR to XLMX

Understanding XAR and XLMX file formats

XAR is a vector graphics file format primarily associated with Xara Designer and related software. It is used for storing scalable vector images, illustrations, and designs, supporting layers, transparency, and effects.

XLMX appears to be a typo or confusion with XLSX (Microsoft Excel spreadsheet) or XLM (Excel Macro). However, if you meant XLMX as a custom or rare format, there is no widely recognized standard for it. For the purpose of this article, we will assume you are referring to XLSX, the modern Excel spreadsheet format.

Why convert XAR to XLSX?

Converting a XAR vector graphic to an XLSX spreadsheet is not a direct or typical conversion, as these formats serve different purposes. However, you might want to extract tabular data or graphical elements from a XAR file and use them in Excel for reporting or analysis.

How to convert XAR to XLSX

There is no direct one-step converter from XAR to XLSX. The process generally involves exporting the data or image from XAR and then importing it into Excel. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Open your XAR file in Xara Designer or Xara Photo & Graphic Designer.
2. If your XAR contains tabular data, copy the data or export it as a CSV or TXT file using File → Export.
3. If you want to use the graphic in Excel, export the image as PNG or JPG using File → Export → PNG/JPG.
4. Open Microsoft Excel and use File → Open to import the CSV/TXT file, or use Insert → Pictures to add the exported image.
5. Save your Excel file as XLSX using File → Save As → Excel Workbook (*.xlsx).
