A PDF of a spreadsheet is ideal for sharing reports, invoices, price lists and timetables with people who should read but not change the numbers, and it prints the same everywhere.
When to keep the XLSX
Keep the XLSX to update figures and formulas; a PDF only shows the values as they were when you converted.
Tips for the best result
- Every sheet with content is included, using the print settings saved in the file.
- Before converting, set the print area, page orientation and Fit to page width in Excel for a neat PDF.
- Formulas show their calculated values.
Common problems and fixes
- A wide table is split across several pages.
- Set Page Layout, Scale to Fit, Width 1 page in Excel and save, then convert again.
- Empty pages appear.
- Cells with formatting but no data can extend the print range. Set a print area in Excel to cover only your table.

Frequently asked questions
Are hidden sheets included?
No, hidden sheets are not printed, so they do not appear in the PDF.
Are charts kept?
Yes. Charts are drawn in the PDF as they appear on the sheet.
Can I convert Excel to PDF without Excel?
Yes. Select the XLSX file here and download the PDF. You do not need Microsoft Excel on your computer or phone.
How do I convert XLSX to PDF?
Click Select File or drop your XLSX file onto the upload box. The converted PDF appears in the list below with a download button. You can add many files at once and download them together as a ZIP.
Is it really free?
Yes. There is no sign-up and no watermark. To keep the service available for everyone there is a 95MB limit per file and a cap on how many files one connection can process in a short period.
Are my files stored?
Your upload is used only to make the converted file. Images are processed in memory; other files are written to a private temporary folder that is deleted as soon as the conversion finishes. Nothing is kept after the result has been sent back.
Will quality drop?
For images, a little, by design: the image is re-encoded at the Quality you choose (default 75%). Audio and video are re-encoded with high-quality settings; documents keep their text and layout as far as the target format allows. Converting never restores detail that is already missing from the original.
How this works: your file is uploaded over HTTPS and converted on this server with open-source engines (libvips for images, FFmpeg for audio and video, LibreOffice and Pandoc for documents, Calibre for ebooks, Ghostscript and Inkscape for PDF and vector files). Images are processed in memory; other files use a private temporary folder that is deleted as soon as the conversion finishes.
