Convert Excel Spreadsheets to PDF

Yes, completely free. Our Excel to PDF tool has no hidden costs, no watermarks, and no registration requirement. You can process as many files as you need, each up to 100MB, at no charge. We believe professional PDF tools should be accessible to everyone — students, freelancers, and businesses alike.

Your files are fully protected. All uploads and downloads use 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption during transfer. Processing happens on our isolated Hetzner server infrastructure in Germany — your file is never shared, analysed for commercial purposes, or stored longer than necessary. Every uploaded and processed file is automatically and permanently deleted within 24 hours of processing.

Supported file types: This tool accepts XLS, XLSX, ODS, CSV files up to 100MB each. If your file is larger, reduce it before uploading — for PDFs you can try our Compress PDF tool, which accepts files up to 100MB.

Yes — works on any device. The interface is fully responsive and tested on desktop, tablet, and mobile. Touch-friendly upload areas, drag-and-drop support on desktop, and mobile-optimised buttons mean you get the same experience whether you are on a MacBook, an iPad, or an Android phone. No app download is ever required — open your browser and go.

Charts are preserved as static images. Bar charts, pie charts, line graphs, and other chart types are rendered as they appear in Excel and embedded in the PDF as images. Conditional formatting colours and cell background fills are also preserved. Formulas are shown as their calculated values, not as formula text. Very wide worksheets may wrap across multiple PDF pages depending on the Excel print area settings in the original file.

Almost entirely on how the workbook is set up to print, because that is what governs the output. A summary sheet with a defined print area, sensible column widths and landscape orientation converts to something that looks deliberate. The same data with no print area set converts to whatever the sheet happens to extend to, including the empty columns someone scrolled into three years ago. Open the print preview in Excel first: what you see there is what you will get.

The sheet is wider than the page, so it has been broken into vertical strips — and a strip containing two columns and no row labels is unreadable. Fix it in Excel rather than here: switch to landscape, set the scaling to fit all columns on one page, and set the header row to repeat so every page carries its labels. If it genuinely will not fit, splitting the sheet into two logical tables is better than letting the page break choose where to cut.

Then this is the wrong direction and you should send the workbook. A converted sheet is a picture of a result: nobody can re-sort it, filter it or change an assumption and watch the totals move. Convert when the figures are final and you want them read rather than edited — a board pack, an invoice, a signed-off budget. If someone has sent you the wrong direction already and you need the data back, PDF to Excel recovers the table, though never as reliably as the original file.

They resolve to their answers and the logic behind them is gone. A cell holding a sum arrives as the number that sum produced, which is exactly what you want when the point is to publish a figure and exactly what you do not want if anyone needs to audit how it was reached. Charts and conditional formatting come through as they appeared, since both are visual. Comments and hidden sheets are not included, so check nothing important is hiding in either before you send.
