Sending a spreadsheet means hoping the other person has the right app, the right version, and will not accidentally change a formula. A PDF takes all of that off the table. Excel to PDF turns XLS and XLSX workbooks into a fixed, printable document where numbers, borders, cell colors, and charts stay where you placed them. Freelancers use it to send invoices, finance teams share monthly budgets, and landlords send rent statements that tenants can open on any phone. For the cleanest result, set a print area and choose fit to page width in your spreadsheet before uploading, so wide tables land neatly on each page. The workbook is converted on a secure connection, then temporary copies are deleted, with leftovers gone within 1 hour.

Excel to PDF FAQ
Is converting Excel to PDF free?
Yes. Excel to PDF is part of your free daily allowance: three advanced uses a day, and each spreadsheet conversion uses one. Workbooks up to 10 MB are accepted, and you do not need an account. The PDF you download has no watermark, and the tool page has no ads.
Are my spreadsheet numbers kept private?
Your workbook is uploaded over a secure connection and used only to create your PDF. Temporary files are deleted after processing, and anything left behind is removed within 1 hour. That matters for payroll sheets, invoices, and budgets, and it is why you can convert without handing over personal details.
Will charts and cell formatting appear in the PDF?
Yes. Charts, borders, fill colors, merged cells, and number formats such as currency or percentages come through as they look in your workbook. The PDF shows what your sheet would print, so tidy up rows, columns, and page setup the way you want them before you upload.
How do I fit an Excel sheet on one page in the PDF?
Set the scaling in your spreadsheet before converting. In Page Setup, choose Fit to 1 page wide, switch to landscape for wide tables, and set a print area around the cells you need. Save the file, then convert it here. Those settings guide how columns are placed on each PDF page.
Can I convert a spreadsheet to PDF on my phone?
Yes. Open Excel to PDF in Safari, Chrome, or any current browser, choose the XLSX from your Files app or email attachments, and convert. This comes in handy when a client asks for an invoice while you are away from your desk. The finished PDF can go straight into WhatsApp, email, or a portal.
What file size can I upload on the free plan?
Free accepts spreadsheets up to 10 MB. Most workbooks are far smaller, since numbers and text take very little space. Large files usually carry embedded images or many unused sheets, so deleting extra tabs often brings them under the limit. For heavier daily use, the Pricing page shows what Free and Pro include.
What if my Excel table looks too small in the PDF?
That usually means the sheet was scaled to squeeze many columns onto one page. Narrow your print area to the columns that matter, switch to landscape, or set Fit to 1 page wide and leave the height on automatic. Then convert again for larger text that is easier to read on screen and paper.
How do I send an Excel invoice together with a receipt as one PDF?
Convert the invoice to PDF first, then open Merge PDF and add it along with the receipt, whether that is another PDF or a photo from your phone. Put the pages in order and download a single file. Your client gets everything in one attachment that is easy to file and approve.
