How it is calculated
Converting Excel to PDF means setting the rows and columns of a spreadsheet into a document that opens and prints the same everywhere. This tool reads the XLSX file (Office Open XML, ECMA-376) or a CSV file in your browser and lays out each sheet so that no column is cut off. There is no upload, no sign-up and no watermark.
How it works
- Drop the XLSX or CSV file here or choose it.
- Pick the page size, orientation (landscape is preset) and margin; switch the header row and sheet names on or off if you like.
- Click “Convert to PDF”, check the preview and download the PDF.
What is kept – and what is not
- Kept: all sheets with their values (for formulas, the last saved result), numbers right-aligned, dates as shown in the file, the header row repeated on every page.
- Not kept: cell colours, borders, fonts, merged cells, charts, images and print areas. The tool sizes the columns to the content; very wide tables are scaled down to a readable minimum.
Limits
This suits lists, price lists, reports and exports. For a layout with colours, charts and fixed print areas, use “Save as → PDF” in Excel itself.
- Excel 2007 or later (.xlsx) and CSV (separator detected automatically). Save old .xls files and password-protected workbooks as .xlsx in Excel first.
- Up to 200 MB; at most 20,000 rows per sheet are set, otherwise the PDF would become unwieldy. Characters the embedded font lacks (Chinese, for example) are replaced and listed.
Privacy
The file never leaves your device. Only the PDF library (pdf-lib, MIT licence) is loaded from this server. Next steps: CSV to Excel, PDF to Excel or merge PDF files.
Frequently asked questions
How can I convert Excel to PDF for free?
Drop the XLSX or CSV file here, check the options and click “Convert to PDF”. You download the PDF straight away – no account and no watermark.
How do I convert Excel to PDF without columns being cut off?
The tool sizes the columns to the content and scales very wide tables to the page width. Landscape is preset and can be changed.
Can I convert Excel to PDF without uploading the file?
Yes. Everything runs in your browser and the file is not sent to a server.
Are several sheets converted?
Yes, every sheet starts on a new page, with the sheet name as a heading if you like.
Are colours and charts kept?
No. The cell values are taken over; colours, borders, charts and images are not. “Save as → PDF” in Excel is better for those.
Does it work with a CSV file?
Yes. CSV files separated by comma, semicolon, tab or vertical bar are detected and set as a table.
