Which formats are accepted?

XLSX, XLS and ODS (OpenDocument Spreadsheet). This covers all Excel versions and LibreOffice Calc.

Is the file sent to a server?

It depends on the file. Simple single-sheet tables up to 2 MB and 5000 cells are converted in your browser, so the file never leaves. Multi-sheet workbooks and large or formula-heavy spreadsheets need server conversion via LibreOffice. The result page tells you honestly how it ran - "Local" or "Server".

Can I always convert on the server?

Yes. After a local conversion the result panel exposes a "Convert on server" button that re-runs the same file through LibreOffice for more precise styling.

What is the maximum file size?

Up to 50 MB. Most spreadsheets are well under this limit.

Are formulas preserved?

Formulas are evaluated and rendered as their final values. Live links and macros are not carried over - PDF is a static format.

Are multiple sheets included?

Yes. Multi-sheet workbooks are automatically routed to server processing and each sheet becomes its own PDF page.

Are password-protected files supported?

No. Remove the password before converting.

Is registration required?

No, the tool is completely free with no sign-up and no watermarks.

Simple tables stay local, complex go to the server

Convert an Excel spreadsheet to PDF for email, printing or archiving. XLSX, XLS and ODS are supported.

By default single-sheet tables up to 2 MB and up to 5000 cells are converted right in your browser - the file never leaves. Multi-sheet workbooks, large or formula-heavy spreadsheets automatically fall back to server conversion via LibreOffice: the file is sent over HTTPS and deleted immediately after processing.
