How to convert Excel to PDF
Three steps, no accounts, no watermarks on the output.
Drop the spreadsheet
Drop an .xlsx file on the box, or click Browse. A preview of the first sheet appears immediately.
Choose the paper
Landscape A4 fits most sheets; portrait suits narrow tables. Pick one sheet or all of them.
Download
The PDF downloads with its exact file weight shown. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.
Why convert in the browser?
Because spreadsheets hold the numbers you would least like on someone else's server: payroll, invoices, headcount plans. Converting locally means the file never leaves your device, there is no account and no queue, and the PDF is ready the moment the cells are read. Details are in our file-handling policy.
Troubleshooting
Is my spreadsheet uploaded when I convert it?
No. The .xlsx file is a ZIP of XML sheets; this page unzips it, reads the cells and their values, and draws them onto PDF pages with a local PDF library. There is no upload endpoint, so budgets, payroll and client data stay on your device.
Will formulas be calculated?
The stored results are converted exactly as the file saved them — which is what you see in Excel when the file is not open. Formulas themselves are not re-evaluated, so a formula whose cached result was never saved may come out empty; open and re-save the file in Excel or Sheets first.
How are the columns laid out?
Columns keep their relative widths and are scaled down to fit the chosen paper. Rows that would not fit on a page continue on the next one, and long sheets span several pages rather than shrinking to an unreadable size.
Can I convert just one sheet?
Yes. The sheet field takes the sheet number as listed in the preview (1 for the first sheet). Leave it empty to convert every sheet in order, each starting on its own page.
What about formatting like colors and bold?
Bold text, cell fill colors and text colors are carried into the PDF. Merged cells are drawn as one wide cell, and frozen panes, comments and charts — which are not cell values — are not part of the table output.
Will it handle CSV files?
For comma-separated values use the dedicated CSV tools on this site, which understand delimiters and encoding directly. This page expects the .xlsx format, the standard since Excel 2007.
Why a spreadsheet needs its own kind of PDF
A PDF is a fixed canvas and a spreadsheet is an elastic grid, and converting between them is mostly an argument about scale. Twenty columns that fill a monitor will not fill an A4 page at a readable size, so something has to give: either the sheet is scaled down until the text is small, or it is split so that continuation pages pick up where the previous one ended. This tool scales the columns to the page width by default, which keeps every column visible, and starts new pages vertically whenever the rows run out of room — the same compromise a print dialog offers, applied automatically.
The other subtlety is values versus formulas. A spreadsheet stores both: the formula that computes a number, and the number itself as of the last save. Only the second one travels into the PDF, which is why an unsaved workbook can show stale or missing results. Saving the file before converting takes a second and guarantees the PDF matches what you see on screen.
| Sheet feature | In the PDF |
|---|---|
| Cell values (saved results) | Exact |
| Column widths | Proportional, scaled to fit |
| Bold, fills, text colors | Kept |
| Merged cells | One wide cell |
| Charts, images, comments | Not included |
After the conversion
The PDF joins the rest of this site's toolkit: check its text with PDF to Text, shrink it with the PDF Compressor when a form enforces a size limit, or split it with the PDF Splitter when only one sheet's pages are needed.
