Turn Excel spreadsheets into clean PDFs.
Share a fixed, universal PDF that looks the same everywhere. Print areas, page breaks and formatting are honoured by the LibreOffice engine.
Why send a PDF instead of the .xlsx
A spreadsheet is a live, editable grid — open it on a different device and column widths shift, fonts substitute and the recipient can change the numbers. A PDF freezes the sheet exactly as you laid it out, so a report, invoice or price list arrives looking the way you intended and can't be accidentally edited. It also opens on any device without Excel installed.
Get the layout right first
The one thing worth doing before you convert: set a Print Area in Excel and check Page Layout → Scaling (Fit to width, and landscape for wide tables). Because a worksheet has no inherent page size, that print setup is what decides where the PDF breaks pages — and LibreOffice honours it faithfully, so what you'd see in Excel's Print Preview is what you get.
Formulas, sheets and formatting
Every sheet in the workbook is rendered, in order. Formulas are flattened to the values they compute (a PDF is a final form, not a calculation engine), and cell formatting — number formats, borders, fills, merged cells and charts — carries across. If you need to edit later, keep your original .xlsx.

Formulas become the values they compute — no broken references
Every sheet in the workbook carries across
Private uploads, auto-deleted after 1 hour
No watermark, no signup to try
XLS to PDF
This converts tabular data from XLS to PDF. Values, rows and columns carry over; formulas, charts and styling generally aren't carried across — what you get is the data, cleanly structured.
Common questions
Is it free?+
Yes — convert Excel to PDF free. Paid plans add larger files, batch and priority.
Is my file private?+
Uploads go to a private bucket, are converted, and auto-delete after 1 hour. Files never touch a third-party converter.
My wide table gets cut off — why?+
A spreadsheet has no fixed page size, so a wide sheet spills past the page edge. Set a Print Area (and 'Fit to width' / landscape) in Excel before exporting, and the PDF will match that layout — LibreOffice honours the workbook's print settings.
What happens to formulas?+
The PDF shows the values your formulas compute, not the formulas themselves — it's a fixed, final form. Keep the original .xlsx if you need to keep editing.
