About XLSX to TSV Conversion
XLSX (introduced 2006) and TSV (introduced 1967) are both spreadsheet formats, but they differ in important ways. XLSX is Microsoft Excel's modern format supporting formulas, charts, and multiple sheets. TSV (Tab-Separated Values) uses tabs instead of commas, avoiding issues with comma-containing data.
Full Name: XLSX uses Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet, while TSV uses Tab-Separated Values. Compression: XLSX uses Lossless, while TSV uses None (uncompressed). Typical File Size: XLSX uses 50 KB–50 MB, while TSV uses 1 KB–100 MB.

The conversion involves 4 steps: (1) your xlsx file is uploaded and the format is validated, (2) the file content is decoded into its raw representation, (3) the data is re-encoded in tsv format with optimal settings, (4) the converted file is ready for download.
