Excel to PDF

Convert Excel spreadsheets to PDF format

pdfty's Excel to PDF converter turns spreadsheets into clean PDFs you can email, print, or archive. Unlike a raw spreadsheet, a PDF locks in exactly what recipients see โ€” no broken formulas, no accidentally edited cells, no missing-fonts surprises.

We convert with LibreOffice running headless, which respects your workbook's print settings: page orientation, print areas, scaling, and repeated header rows. Formulas are rendered as their computed values, charts come through as sharp vector graphics, and each worksheet is laid out onto pages just like Excel's own print preview. Both modern .xlsx and legacy .xls files work, plus .ods and .csv.

Free for files up to 20 MB โ€” no watermark, no signup. Files travel over HTTPS and are permanently deleted within 1 hour; we never inspect or retain your data. Pro ($9/mo) lifts the size limit and adds batch conversion for many workbooks at once.

Frequently asked questions

They paginate the same way Excel prints them. For a wide table, set landscape orientation or a print scale (e.g. fit to 1 page wide) in Excel before uploading.
