Multi-Sheet SupportFormat PreservedNo UploadNo Watermark
How to Use
- Upload: Drag your .xlsx or .xlsm file here or click to browse — files never leave your browser
- Pick sheets: Select which worksheets to include in the PDF; multi-sheet workbooks are concatenated
- Choose size: Pick A4 or Letter, plus Portrait, Landscape, or Auto (auto flips wide sheets)
- Convert: Click Convert — the tool processes your workbook entirely in your browser via exceljs + html2canvas
- Download: Download the finished PDF — no watermark, no sign-up, no server upload
Why Choose This Tool
- Multi-sheet workbook support: Workbooks with multiple worksheets are handled in one pass — pick the sheets you need and the tool renders them in order, each prefixed by its sheet name for easy reference.
- Cell formatting preserved: Fonts (bold, italic, color, size), cell backgrounds, borders, alignment, column widths, row heights, and merged cells all carry over to the PDF — your spreadsheet looks like a spreadsheet, not a plain dump.
- Your data stays private: Conversion happens entirely in your browser via exceljs and html2canvas. Your .xlsx file and the resulting PDF never touch a server — you can verify this by disconnecting from the internet after the page loads.
- No watermark, no sign-up, no limit: Many free tools add a 'Converted by XYZ' watermark or require an account. This tool does neither — you get a clean PDF, and you only see one ad-supported page per session.

Common Questions
Are my Excel files uploaded to a server?
No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser using exceljs. Your .xlsx file never leaves your computer, and the resulting PDF is generated locally. You can verify this by disconnecting from the internet after the page loads; the tool continues to work fully offline.
Are formulas, charts, and pivot tables preserved?
No — formulas are converted to their last-computed values (no recalculation), and charts, pivot tables, conditional formatting, and macros are dropped. The output is a visual, paginated representation of your spreadsheet. For analytical re-use, stay in .xlsx; this tool is for sharing and printing.
Do .xls or .xlsm files work?
.xlsx (modern Excel) and .xlsm (macro-enabled Excel, macros ignored) are supported. The legacy .xls format (Excel 97-2003) is not — open it in Excel, LibreOffice, or Google Sheets and re-save as .xlsx first.
What fonts are used in the PDF?
Browser-rendered fonts (typically Calibri, Arial, or the system default). The output is a screenshot of a styled HTML table embedded in the PDF, so text is not selectable/searchable — but the visual appearance matches what you'd see in Excel.
Can I convert a workbook with 20 sheets?
Yes. There's no fixed sheet limit; conversion time scales with the total page count. For very large workbooks (50+ sheets, thousands of rows each), expect the conversion to take 30-60 seconds.
Are encrypted/protected workbooks supported?
No. If your workbook requires a password to open, decrypt it first in Excel (File → Info → Protect Workbook → Encrypt with Password → Remove Password) and re-save before uploading.
Is it really 100% free with no hidden limits?
Yes. No sign-up, no watermark, no daily limit, no per-page fee. The only practical limit is the file size cap (typically 128-256 MB), applied locally to keep your browser responsive. There's no premium version or upsell.
How does this compare to Excel's built-in Save as PDF?
Excel's Save as PDF produces a similar visual result, but requires Microsoft Excel installed. This tool runs in any browser, on any device, for free, with no install — and supports multi-sheet workbooks with the same fidelity.
