What this tool does
Reads the first sheet of an Excel file and renders its rows and columns as a simple table across as many PDF pages as needed, with the first row shown in bold as a header.
How to use it
Drop or select one .xlsx or .xls file. The tool reads its first sheet and generates a ready-to-download PDF, typically within a second for a normal-sized spreadsheet.
Worked example
Upload budget.xlsx (a sheet with a header row and 40 data rows) and you get budget.pdf — the same header and rows, laid out as an evenly-spaced table across one or more Letter-sized pages.
What is preserved and what isn't
Only the calculated cell values, arranged in the same row and column order, are preserved. Cell colors, borders, fonts, number formatting (currency symbols, decimal places), formulas themselves, charts and any sheet beyond the first are not carried over.
Column sizing and long text
All columns are given equal width based on the widest row in the sheet, and text that doesn't fit is truncated with an ellipsis ("…") rather than wrapped or shrunk — this keeps the table simple and readable rather than trying to auto-fit every column precisely.
Limitations
Only the first sheet is converted; a workbook with multiple sheets needs to be converted one sheet at a time (by removing or reordering sheets before uploading). Sheets with more than 2,000 rows aren't supported, to keep the output PDF a reasonable size.
Privacy
Both reading the spreadsheet and generating the PDF happen entirely in your browser. Your file is never uploaded to a server.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Does this convert every sheet in my workbook?
- No — only the first sheet is converted; reorder or split your workbook if you need a different sheet.
- Will long cell text wrap onto a new line?
- No — text that's too wide for its column is truncated with an ellipsis instead of wrapping, to keep every row a single line.
- Is my spreadsheet uploaded anywhere?
- No — both reading the file and generating the PDF happen entirely in your browser.
