How to Create a PDF from an Excel Spreadsheet
Three steps, all in your browser.
1
Add your spreadsheet
Drag in a single Excel .xlsx file, or click to browse and choose one. Nothing is uploaded.
2
Choose page orientation
Pick Portrait for narrow sheets or Landscape for sheets with many columns.
3
Create and download
Click Create PDF to build the file, then download it or open it in a new tab. Need a plain text file turned into a PDF instead? Use the Txt to PDF converter.
For other sources, Word to PDF handles .docx and TXT to PDF plain text. To read a finished PDF back as data, PDF to Text extracts its text layer.
What converts, and what does not
The spreadsheet is read for its cell values, which are drawn into a PDF table. Formulas are not recalculated — the stored value is what appears.
| Element | Result |
|---|---|
| Cell values | Converted |
| Formulas | The stored result is used, not the formula |
| Cell formatting (fill, font, borders) | Not preserved |
| Merged cells | Not preserved |
| Charts and images | Not carried over |
| Multiple sheets | Read from the workbook as parsed by the sheet reader |
| Input format | .xlsx |
Frequently Asked Questions
What does this tool preserve, and what does it drop?
The converter preserves the cell values: it reads them from each sheet and lays them out as a table, keeping rows and columns aligned, including empty cells. Charts, images, formulas (only their last calculated value is kept, not the formula itself), cell colors, fonts and other styling are not included. It's best-effort: good for getting the data itself into a shareable PDF, not for a pixel-perfect copy of the spreadsheet's look.
How are multiple sheets handled?
Every sheet in the workbook is converted. Each sheet starts on its own page, labelled with the sheet's name, followed by its data as a table. A workbook with several sheets becomes a multi-page PDF with one section per sheet.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No — the converter runs entirely in your browser. Your spreadsheet is read and turned into a PDF on your own device, and nothing is uploaded, logged or stored. That makes it safe for private data and financial records, and it keeps working offline once the page has loaded. Closing the tab clears everything.
Can I control the page orientation?
Yes — page orientation is a setting. Choose Portrait for narrow sheets or Landscape for sheets with many columns, before creating the PDF. The same orientation is used for the whole document.
