Pourquoi les fichiers Excel sont difficiles à corrompre correctement
An .xlsx workbook is a ZIP archive of XML parts: worksheets, a shared string table, styles, relationships. Excel is unusually good at recovering from partial damage, so a handful of random flips normally produces a workbook that opens with a warning and all the data intact. To make it genuinely unreadable, the archive itself has to go.
Ce que cet outil détruit
- ZIP entry headers. Every local file header inside the package is destroyed, including
xl/workbook.xmland each worksheet part. - Central directory and EOCD. The archive index and its terminating record are overwritten, so the file no longer registers as a ZIP container.
- Relationship parts. The
_relsentries binding worksheets to the workbook are caught by the same pass. - Legacy .xls. Older BIFF workbooks are handled through their OLE compound header and FAT sector map.
Ce que vous verrez ensuite

| Google Sheets | Import fails with an unsupported-file error. |
| Numbers on macOS | Refuses to import the workbook. |
| pandas / openpyxl | Raises BadZipFile, useful for testing error handling in data pipelines. |

Questions fréquentes sur Excel
Will Excel offer to recover the workbook?
It may offer, but recovery fails at Standard level and above. The container index is destroyed, so Excel cannot locate a single worksheet part to salvage.
Does it work on macro-enabled files (.xlsm)?
Yes. .xlsm uses the same package format as .xlsx and is handled identically.
What about CSV files?
CSV is plain text, so the engine switches to injecting invalid UTF-8 sequences throughout. Use the dedicated CSV corrupter for that.
Is there a file size limit?
None imposed by us. Processing runs in slices, so large workbooks are handled without exhausting memory.
