Good for: read-only budget snapshots, expense tables for email, spreadsheet data for meeting packets.

Frequently asked questions
Does Excel to PDF preserve formulas?
The PDF is a static view, not a spreadsheet with live formulas. Check calculated values and formatting against the XLSX before relying on the result.
What happens to charts and complex tables?
This is a basic, best-effort conversion. Complex charts, merged cells and custom print areas may be simplified or differ from Excel's own PDF export.
Does this accept .xls?
No. Upload an XLSX file; convert an older XLS workbook to XLSX in a spreadsheet app first.
How large can the workbook be?
Guests can upload files up to 25 MB each. A free account raises the limit to 50 MB per file, and Premium allows 500 MB per file with larger batches.
Are financial spreadsheets kept private?
Files are encrypted in transit and removed automatically after a short time.
Can I use this on a Mac?
Yes. The conversion runs online in a browser on Mac, Windows and supported mobile devices.
