How to convert Excel to PDF online
1. Upload your Excel file
Drag and drop a .xls or .xlsx file. Files up to 50MB are supported on the free plan.
2. We convert it to PDF
Your spreadsheet is converted with LibreOffice, keeping tables, columns, and number formatting intact.
3. Download your PDF
Save the finished PDF straight away. No email, no account, and no watermark.
Share a spreadsheet that looks the same everywhere
Sending an .xlsx means the other person can change the numbers, and it may look different depending on their software. A PDF locks the layout so your figures and tables are presented exactly as you intend.
PainlessPDF converts your Excel file to a clean PDF, ready to email, print, or attach to a report.
Tables and formatting preserved
Conversion is handled by LibreOffice, so columns, borders, and number formats come through close to how they look in Excel. Once it is a PDF you can also merge it with other documents or add page numbers.
Free to convert, nothing to install
There is no account to create and nothing to download. Your file is sent over a secure (HTTPS) connection, converted on our servers, and the PDF downloads with no watermark. It is used only for the conversion you requested and is not kept afterwards.
Frequently asked questions
Is converting Excel to PDF free?
Yes. You can convert Excel spreadsheets to PDF for free, with no watermark and no account required.
Which spreadsheet formats are supported?
You can convert .xls, .xlsx, .ods, and .csv files. Each file needs to be within the free plan size limit.
Will wide spreadsheets fit on the page?
Conversion uses the spreadsheet's print area and page setup, just like Excel. Very wide sheets may split across pages, so setting a print area or scaling in your spreadsheet first gives the cleanest result.
Do I need Excel installed?
No. The conversion runs online, so you do not need Microsoft Excel or any install. Upload your file and the PDF downloads when it's ready.
