Convert Excel to PDF
Convert XLSX and XLS spreadsheets to high-fidelity PDFs in one click.
Why convert Excel to PDF with PDFWix?
- Every sheet, one PDF: Multi-sheet workbooks export every sheet into a single combined PDF, one section per sheet — no more juggling exports.
- Wide sheets fit the page: Wide financial sheets are auto-scaled so they stay readable on standard A4/US Letter pages instead of being cut into illegible strips.
- Formats and merged cells preserved: Cell colors, number formats, borders and merged cells render in the PDF the way they look in Excel.
- Optional gridlines and titles: Toggle gridlines on for a spreadsheet-style export, or off for a cleaner report look. Sheet titles above each section are optional too.
- Locks the numbers: Once it's a PDF, the recipient can't accidentally overwrite a formula. Combine with [Protect PDF](/protect-pdf) for tamper-evidence.
- Free, no signup, no watermark: Convert as many spreadsheets as you need without paying or registering. Output is a clean PDF, no PDFWix branding.

Frequently asked questions
Is Excel to PDF free to use?
Yes — completely free with no signup, no daily cap and no watermark. Everything runs in your browser, so there's no server cost we need to recoup.
Can I convert multiple sheets in one go?
Yes — multi-sheet workbooks export every sheet into a single combined PDF by default, with one page per sheet. You get the whole workbook as a single sharable file.
Will my charts and formatting carry over?
Cell colors, number formats, borders and merged cells render in the PDF the way they look in Excel. Complex embedded charts are best exported directly from Excel as images if pixel-perfect chart rendering is critical.
How are wide spreadsheets handled?
Wide sheets are auto-scaled to fit the page width so financial sheets stay readable on standard A4/US Letter pages instead of being cut into strips.
Does it support .csv files as well as Excel?
Yes — .csv files are supported alongside .xlsx and .xls. Each file is rendered as a single-sheet PDF with the same formatting rules.
Is my data uploaded to a server?
No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your spreadsheet never leaves your device — we can't see it, and neither can anyone else on the network.
