About Excel to PDF
This tool lets you convert Excel to PDF online for free. It turns an .xlsx spreadsheet into a PDF and keeps fonts, bold and italic, fill colours, borders, alignment and merged cells. Wide sheets are scaled to fit the page width, and long sheets carry on across more pages. Text and numbers stay selectable and searchable.
It is useful for anyone who needs to send a spreadsheet that the other person shouldn't edit, like a price list, a timesheet or a budget. You can show gridlines and print sheet names as titles if that helps readers.
Think of a small shop owner sending a supplier a monthly order sheet. She opens the .xlsx, picks Landscape so the wide table fits, turns on gridlines, and downloads a tidy PDF to attach to her email. Conversion happens in your browser, and your file is never uploaded.
How to use Excel to PDF
- Drop your .xlsx file on the page or click Choose file.
- Check the preview. It shows each visible sheet as it will print.
- Choose a Page size (A4, Letter, Legal or A3), an Orientation (Portrait or Landscape) and Margins (None, Small, Normal or Wide).
- Tick Show gridlines or Sheet names as titles if you want them.
- Click Convert to PDF and download the result. Click New file to start again.

Excel to PDF: questions people ask
Is my file uploaded?
No. Conversion happens in your browser, and the file stays on your device.
Can I convert an old .xls file?
Not yet. Save it as .xlsx first in Excel, Google Sheets or LibreOffice, then open it here.
Are charts and pictures included?
Not yet. Cell data and formatting are converted, but charts and pictures inside sheets are left out.
What happens to hidden sheets, rows and columns?
They are left out, just as when Excel prints.
