I need to convert an Excel spreadsheet to PDF
Send a spreadsheet that keeps its layout and can't be edited, ideal for reports, invoices and quotes.
To share a spreadsheet as a fixed document, convert Excel to PDF: it locks the layout so the table looks identical on every device and nobody can accidentally change a formula. Our Excel to PDF tool handles the conversion. For very wide sheets, set the fit-to-page or landscape option so columns aren't cut off.

Excel to PDF
Convert an Excel spreadsheet (.xlsx, .xls, .ods) to a clean, printable PDF in your browser. Pick the sheet, choose portrait or landscape and A4 or Letter, then download a bordered table PDF. Nothing is uploaded.
PDF to Excel
Extract tables from a PDF into an editable spreadsheet, fix any cells, then download a real Excel.xlsx (or CSV). Best-effort, position-based table detection. Works best on clean tabular PDFs. Nothing is uploaded.
Compress PDF
Shrink a PDF's file size right in your browser. Pick a compression level, see exactly how much you saved, and download. No uploads, no watermark.
Merge PDF
Combine multiple PDF files into a single document, drag to set the order, then download. Free, fast and entirely in your browser.

Combine or compress
Merge it with a cover letter into one PDF, or compress if the export is large.
- Converting a very wide sheet in portrait, so the right-hand columns get cut off, switch to landscape or fit-to-page.
- Expecting the PDF to stay editable like a spreadsheet. A PDF is fixed. Keep the source file for edits, or use PDF to Excel to go back.
- Leaving in draft rows or notes you didn't mean to share, clean the sheet before converting.
