Convert WBD to XLSX

Understanding WBD and XLSX file formats

The WBD file format is typically associated with Webshots, a digital photo management application. These files are used to store images and are not commonly used for data storage or manipulation. On the other hand, the XLSX file format is a widely used spreadsheet format created by Microsoft Excel. It is part of the Office Open XML standard and is used for storing data in a structured format, including formulas, charts, and other features.

Why convert WBD to XLSX?

Converting a WBD file to an XLSX file might be necessary if you need to extract data from images stored in WBD format and organize it in a spreadsheet for analysis or reporting. This conversion allows you to leverage the powerful data manipulation and visualization tools available in Excel.

Best software for WBD to XLSX conversion

Since WBD files are primarily image files, a direct conversion to XLSX is not straightforward. However, you can use a combination of tools to achieve this:

• Webshots Desktop: Use this software to open and export images from WBD files.
• Microsoft Excel: Once you have the images, you can manually input any data into an Excel spreadsheet or use OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software to extract text from images and then import it into Excel.
• Adobe Acrobat: If you convert the images to PDF first, you can use File → Export → Spreadsheet → Microsoft Excel Workbook to convert the PDF to XLSX.

Steps to convert WBD to XLSX

1. Open the WBD file using Webshots Desktop and export the images to a common format like JPEG or PNG.
2. Use OCR software to extract any text data from the images if needed.
3. Open Microsoft Excel and manually input the data or import the extracted text data.
4. Save the file as an XLSX by selecting File → Save As and choosing the XLSX format.
