Excel to PDF
Convert spreadsheet files to PDF. The tool handles modern Excel files, legacy XLS format, OpenDocument Spreadsheets, and even CSV -- all rendered through a browser-based LibreOffice engine that preserves cell formatting, formulas (as computed values), charts, and multi-sheet layouts.
Supported Formats
| Format | Extensions |
|---|---|
| Excel (modern) | .xlsx |
| Excel (legacy) | .xls |
| OpenDocument Spreadsheet | .ods |
| CSV | .csv |
How It Works
- Click the upload area or drag and drop your spreadsheet files.
- Review the file list. Add more files or remove unwanted ones.
- Click Convert to PDF. The LibreOffice engine initializes on first use, then processes each file.
- A single file downloads directly as a PDF. Multiple files are delivered as
excel-converted.zip.
Options
This tool has no additional configuration. The LibreOffice engine determines page layout, scaling, and print area based on the spreadsheet's built-in settings.
Output
| Input Count | Output |
|---|---|
| 1 file | Single PDF download (original filename with .pdf extension) |
| 2+ files | ZIP archive (excel-converted.zip) containing one PDF per file |
Use Cases
- Converting financial reports or budgets from Excel to PDF for distribution
- Creating print-ready PDFs from inventory or product catalog spreadsheets
- Sharing data analysis results with stakeholders who do not have Excel installed
- Archiving quarterly reports in a non-editable format
- Converting ODS files from LibreOffice Calc to PDF
Tips
- Charts embedded in the spreadsheet are rendered in the PDF. Make sure they look correct in the source file before converting.
- If your spreadsheet has multiple sheets, all sheets are included in the PDF output.
- For simple CSV data without formatting, the CSV to PDF tool provides a more lightweight conversion. Use Excel to PDF when you need formatting, charts, or multiple sheets preserved.
