Excel to PDF

The converter reads your workbook right in the browser and lays it out as a PDF. It doesn't take a screenshot: cell contents become real, selectable and searchable text.

• Number formats: thousands separators, decimals, currencies, percentages, dates and times, fractions and scientific notation, including custom formats.
• Text styles: bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, size and colour, including mixed formatting inside one cell.
• Fills and borders: background colours, pattern fills, thin, thick, double and dashed borders.
• Alignment: horizontal and vertical alignment, indents, wrapped text and rotated text.
• Merged cells, custom column widths and row heights, and images placed on the sheet.

Hidden rows and columns stay hidden. If the workbook has a print area, only that range is converted by default, just as Excel would print it.

Wide or long tables are split across pages the same way a printout would be. You control how:

• Paper size: A4, A3, Letter, Legal, or whatever the workbook specifies.
• Orientation: portrait or landscape. In automatic mode, wide tables go landscape.
• Fit: to page width keeps all columns side by side (usually the best choice), to one page shrinks the whole sheet onto a single page, or keep the original size.
• Gridlines: show the light cell grid, or leave it out when the sheet has its own borders.
• Repeat header row: the first row (or the rows set to repeat in Excel) appears at the top of every page.
• Page numbers: “Page N of M” in the footer, plus the sheet name when you convert several sheets.

If fitting would make the text very small, the tool tells you, so you can switch to landscape or a larger paper size.

Sheets with tens of thousands of rows work: processing runs in chunks with a progress bar, so the page stays responsive. In our tests a formatted 20,000-row sheet became a PDF of several hundred pages with the header repeated on each one. Very large files are limited only by your device's memory, so select just the sheets you need.

CSV files are welcome too. The delimiter and text encoding are detected automatically, numbers are right-aligned, and the first row can be styled as a header. To turn a CSV into a proper workbook first, use CSV to Excel.

Formulas show the value Excel last saved. If a file was generated by another program and the values are blank, open and re-save it in Excel or LibreOffice.

This is a table renderer, not a full copy of Excel:

• Charts and shapes aren't drawn. The result lists any that were on the sheet; for those, use File → Export → PDF in Excel.
• Conditional formatting (colour scales, data bars, icons) isn't applied.
• Fonts such as Calibri or Arial are replaced with embedded fonts of similar width, so line breaks stay close but letter shapes may differ slightly.
• Old .xls files (Excel 97–2003) need to be saved as .xlsx first.
• Password-protected workbooks must be unlocked in Excel first.

Always check the preview. A column that's too narrow shows #### instead of the number, exactly as it does in Excel.

Everything runs in your browser. The spreadsheet isn't uploaded, stored or seen by anyone, which matters for payroll, quotes, customer lists and other confidential data. There's no sign-up and no watermark. Afterwards you can merge several PDFs or compress a large one for email.
