Try it nowFrequently Asked Questions
Drop a .xls, .xlsx, .ods or .csv file. The converter opens the workbook, lays out the cells across as many PDF pages as needed, and returns a downloadable PDF — preserving column widths, cell formatting, conditional formatting colors, and gridlines.
usageYes — embedded charts (column, line, pie, scatter) and conditional formatting colors are rendered faithfully in the PDF. The output is a static snapshot, so the chart cannot be edited inside the PDF, but it looks identical to the spreadsheet.
qualityEach sheet becomes a section of the PDF, with sheet name visible in a header. Long sheets paginate across multiple pages. Print area settings from Excel are respected — if you have set Print Areas, only those cells appear in the PDF.
featuresFormulas are evaluated to their current values and only the displayed result appears in the PDF — exactly what would print from Excel. The source workbook is not modified.
technicalYes — CSV is treated as a single-sheet spreadsheet with no formatting. The output is a simple table grid sized to A4 (you can adjust paper size by opening the CSV in Excel/LibreOffice first and saving as .xlsx with custom formatting).
featuresThe converter uses the sheet's Page Setup if defined (paper size, orientation, scaling). If unset, it defaults to A4 portrait and auto-scales wide tables to fit. For best results, set Page Setup explicitly in Excel before exporting.
tipsFiles are uploaded to our conversion service, converted in isolation, and deleted within 24 hours — unless you explicitly share a result, which keeps it at a public link anyone who has it can open for up to 30 days. We never share or analyse your data. For financial models or PII spreadsheets, use a desktop office suite instead.
privacyFree to preview; create a free account to download without a watermark on the output. Free conversions have a daily allowance and a 20MB per-file limit; Premium raises the limit to 50MB and lifts the daily cap, while Pro raises it to 120MB.
pricingWide sheets clip or spill onto extra pages when no Page Setup is defined. Open the spreadsheet, switch the orientation to Landscape and set Page Setup to 'Fit to 1 page wide' (or define a Print Area), then re-export — the converter respects those settings and scales the table to fit. With nothing set it defaults to A4 portrait and auto-scales wide tables.
tipsYes — the same conversion engine powers our Word to PDF and PPT to PDF tools, so you can turn .doc/.docx and .ppt/.pptx files into PDFs for free with formatting preserved. This page is tuned for spreadsheets (.xls, .xlsx, .ods, .csv); pick the matching converter for documents or slides.
featuresYou don't need Excel or any office suite. Upload the XLS, XLSX, ODS or CSV file here and it is rendered to PDF on our secure server with gridlines and cell formatting preserved, then deleted automatically. This is handy on a Chromebook, a phone or a work machine without an Office licence — the download is a standard PDF that opens anywhere.
usageYes — Pixoate supports batch and bulk processing. Switch to Batch mode, add up to 60 spreadsheets on Premium or 200 on Pro, set your options once, and every spreadsheet is processed with the same settings before you download a single ZIP. Bulk processing is a Premium feature; the output uses the same quality and settings as single mode.
featuresYes — with bulk processing you configure the settings a single time and they apply to every item in the batch — up to 60 spreadsheets on Premium or 200 on Pro. There is no need to repeat the setup per item, and Temporary uploaded and generated files are processed securely and deleted automatically.
usageHow Excel to PDF helps you get it done
Real problems it solves every day — for businesses, creators, and everyday tasks. Find the use case that fits you and start in seconds.
Quotes, Invoices and Estimates
You built the invoice as an Excel template, but clients should receive a non-editable PDF. Convert before sending — formulas evaluate, columns stay aligned, and the recipient can't accidentally break your formatting.
Tax Filings and Schedules
Excel-built tax workings and schedules need to be submitted to your CPA as PDF for archival. Convert with full gridlines so every cell is auditable.
Board Reports & Financial Summaries
Numbers belong in Excel for analysis; board members want a stable PDF. Convert the final dashboard sheet to a printable PDF report — formulas frozen at submission time.
Inventory Snapshots
Take a point-in-time PDF snapshot of your inventory spreadsheet for end-of-quarter reporting or auditor review. The PDF is immutable evidence; the Excel file keeps evolving.
Pricing Tables for Public Sharing
Publishing pricing tiers on your website? A PDF download is cleaner than embedding Excel. Convert your master pricing sheet and link from your product page.
Grant Application Budgets
Grants and funding applications usually require a budget worksheet attached as PDF, not Excel. Convert your detailed budget spreadsheet — gridlines, formulas evaluated, ready for review.
Real Estate Comps & Rent Rolls for Buyers
Convert a comparable-sales sheet or rent roll to a locked PDF before sending it to a buyer, lender or property manager, so the formulas and formatting can't be accidentally edited downstream.
Gradebook Summaries for Report Cards
Convert a class gradebook spreadsheet to PDF to share an individual student's grade summary with parents, without exposing the rest of the class's data or the live formulas behind it.
Event Budget Trackers for Vendors & Co-Planners
Turn a wedding or event budget spreadsheet into a shareable PDF for vendors and co-planners who need the numbers but shouldn't be able to edit your master tracking file.
Research Data Tables for Paper Appendices
Convert a results or raw-data spreadsheet into a clean PDF table for a journal submission or thesis appendix, preserving exact column widths and formatting instead of pasting a screenshot.
Investor-Ready Financial Statements
Convert a monthly P&L, budget or financial model spreadsheet into a polished, uneditable PDF before sending it to investors, lenders or auditors, preserving exact cell formatting and conditional-formatting highlights without exposing the live formulas behind the numbers.
