Free online Excel to PDF converter
Excel to PDF, 20 files at once
Excel To Pdf is a free Excel to PDF converter that costs nothing and needs no signup: drop up to 20 XLSX, XLSM, XLSB, XLS, ODS, CSV or TSV files, each up to 50 MB, and a PDF is ready for every one of them in seconds. Each worksheet becomes a real table with selectable text rather than a screenshot, and the whole conversion runs inside your browser.
Number, date and currency formats, column widths and merged title rows all carry over, and A4, US Letter or US Legal pages turn sideways automatically when a sheet is too wide.

How to use this Excel to PDF converter
Three steps, a couple of seconds, nothing to install.
Add your spreadsheets
Drag up to 20 workbooks onto the drop zone, click Choose Excel files, or press Ctrl+V / ⌘V to paste a file — or even a range you just copied out of a spreadsheet. XLSX, XLSM, XLSB, XLS, ODS, CSV and TSV are all read the same way.
Set the page up
Pick A4, US Letter or US Legal and portrait or landscape — leave orientation on Auto and wide sheets turn sideways by themselves. Decide whether to convert every worksheet or only the first, and whether to keep gridlines, a repeating header row and page numbers.
Download the PDFs
Each conversion starts the moment a file lands, so the Download PDF button appears within a second or two for a typical workbook. Converting a batch? One button packs every finished PDF into a single ZIP.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I convert an Excel file to PDF?
- Drop the workbook onto this page and the PDF is ready to download — no other step is required. The converter reads the file, lays every worksheet out as a table on A4 pages, and hands back a .pdf named after your original file. If you want US Letter, landscape pages or only the first sheet, change the PDF settings and the file rebuilds itself immediately.
- Is this Excel to PDF converter free?
- Yes — completely free, with no account, no email address, no daily conversion cap and no watermark stamped on the pages. The site is paid for by the ad slots around the tool, not by the tool itself.
- Which spreadsheet formats can I convert?
- XLSX, XLSM, XLSB, XLS, ODS, CSV and TSV, up to 50 MB per file. That covers modern Excel workbooks, the old binary .xls format Excel used before 2007, LibreOffice and Google Sheets exports, and plain delimited text.
- Can I convert several Excel files to PDF at once?
- Yes, up to 20 workbooks in a single batch. Each one becomes its own PDF, and Download all packs the finished files into one ZIP so you are not clicking through twenty separate downloads.
- Will every sheet in my workbook end up in the PDF?
- Every sheet, by default — each worksheet starts on a fresh page with its name printed in the top margin. Switch Sheets to convert to First sheet only when you want just the front sheet, and empty sheets are skipped either way.
- How do I fit a wide spreadsheet onto the page?
- Leave Orientation on Auto: a sheet wider than six columns is turned to landscape automatically, and column widths are always scaled to the printable width so nothing is ever cut off at the right edge. Type size steps down from 10 pt to 5 pt as the column count grows, and long cell text wraps onto extra lines instead of overflowing.
- Is the text in the finished PDF selectable and searchable?
- Yes — every cell is written as real text, not a picture of the sheet, so you can select it, search it, and copy it back out. Numbers, dates and currency values keep the formatting Excel showed them in, and a typical 5-page report comes out around 20-40 KB.
- Are my spreadsheets uploaded to a server?
- No. The workbook is read and the PDF is written by JavaScript inside your own tab, so no part of the file is ever sent anywhere — which also means the tool keeps working after you disconnect from the internet.
About this tool
Excel To Pdf exists for one job: turning a spreadsheet into a document somebody else can open. Invoices, price lists, timesheets, class registers — anything that has to be emailed, printed or attached to a form, where sending the workbook itself would be the wrong move.
The converter reads the workbook with a spreadsheet parser, then draws each worksheet as a paginated table straight into the PDF. Because the cells are written as text objects, the result behaves like a document rather than an image: the text can be selected, searched and indexed, and a five-page report typically weighs 20-40 KB instead of the several megabytes a rendered screenshot would cost.
Cells that hold non-Latin text — Cyrillic, Greek, accented Latin — pull in an embedded Noto Sans subset so the characters come out right instead of turning into boxes. There is no account to create, no queue to wait in, and no cap on how many files you convert in a day.
What happens to your files
Nothing is uploaded. The parser and the PDF writer are ordinary JavaScript running in your tab, so a workbook you drop here is read from local memory and released when you remove it or close the page — there is no server that could keep a copy. The one network request the converter can make is for a font file from this same domain, and only when a sheet contains characters outside the Latin-1 range.
