The conversion extracts textual elements (title, author, chapters, metadata) and tabulates them into rows and columns for analysis, cataloging, or import into database and spreadsheet workflows.

XLS files have the MIME type application/vnd.ms-excel and support complex spreadsheet functions widely used in office environments.

FICTIONBOOK (FB2) is an XML-based format primarily designed for storing fiction literature with rich metadata, focusing on text and structure. In contrast, MS Excel 97 2000 XP (XLS) is a spreadsheet format optimized for numerical data, calculations, and analysis. While FB2 excels at preserving book content, XLS allows enhanced data manipulation and visualization capabilities.
Keep individual FB2 files under 50–200 MB for fastest, most reliable conversion; very large files may time out or require splitting.
To preserve special characters and Cyrillic text, choose UTF-8 preservation and verify encoding before conversion.
For bulk processing, prepare a ZIP archive of FB2 files; batch conversion is usually supported but may have per-job limits.
Be aware that FB2 structural elements (complex inline formatting, images, or nested epigraphs) may not map perfectly to XLS cells and may require post-conversion cleanup.
