Convert Excel to PDF

How to Convert Excel to PDF

1

Add your spreadsheets

Click “Select files” or drag and drop one or more .xlsx or .xls files. Batch conversion is supported.

2

Choose sheets to convert

By default all sheets are converted. To convert specific sheets only, deselect the ones you don’t need in the sheet picker.

3

Convert and download

Click “Convert to PDF”. Each spreadsheet processes locally. Multi-sheet files produce a single multi-page PDF.

Every step runs in your browser. No server uploads, no waiting.

Why use this tool

DukPdf’s Excel to PDF tool converts XLSX and XLS spreadsheets to PDF while preserving column widths, formulas (as printed values), and cell formatting. The conversion runs in your browser using LibreOffice — no server uploads, no queue. Your financial data never leaves your device. To convert other office formats, use Word to PDF or PowerPoint to PDF. For a step-by-step guide, see our Excel to PDF guide.

When you'd use this

Financial reports

Convert monthly P&L, balance sheets, and cash-flow statements to PDF for board decks or investor updates — formulas render as printed values.

Invoices and quotes

Turn an Excel invoice template into a PDF to send to a client. Numbers and formatting stay pixel-perfect.

Data archives

Save snapshots of key spreadsheets as PDFs for long-term record-keeping. PDFs render identically decades from now, unlike Excel which depends on the version.

Submission forms

Convert spreadsheets required for grant applications, tax filings, or compliance reports into the PDF format most portals demand.

Excel to PDF — questions

How are formulas handled?

Formulas are evaluated and printed as their calculated values — the PDF shows what the spreadsheet would print on paper, not the formula text. Hidden rows and columns are excluded by default.

Will column widths be preserved?

Yes. The PDF uses the column widths set in the source spreadsheet. Print area settings are respected — only the marked print area becomes the PDF page.

Are all sheets included in one PDF?

Yes. By default every sheet becomes a section in a single multi-page PDF. Each sheet starts on a new page. To split into separate PDFs, run the tool on each sheet individually.

What about charts and images?

Charts, images, shapes, and other embedded objects are extracted and rendered in the PDF at their original position and size.

Is my spreadsheet uploaded during conversion?

No. The entire conversion runs locally using LibreOffice compiled to WebAssembly. Open DevTools → Network tab — zero upload requests.

Does it work with .xls (legacy format)?

Yes. Both .xlsx (Excel 2007+) and legacy .xls (Excel 97–2003) are supported. LibreOffice handles both formats natively.
