Excel to PDF Converter
Processing your file... Please wait.
Select an Excel file (.xlsx or .xls) to begin.
💡 How This Tool Works
- **Upload:** You select an Excel file (XLSX or XLS) from your computer.
- **Read Data:** The powerful **SheetJS** library reads the binary data of your Excel file, extracting the tabular content (rows and columns) from the first sheet into a clean JavaScript array.
- **Generate PDF:** The extracted data is passed to **jsPDF** and **AutoTable**. This creates a new PDF document, rendering the table structure dynamically within the PDF.
- **Download:** The browser immediately prompts you to download the finalized, formatted PDF file. **No data ever leaves your computer!**
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is my file data safe?
Absolutely. This is a **client-side converter**, meaning the entire conversion process happens locally in your web browser. Your Excel file is never uploaded to a server.
2. Can it handle multiple sheets?
This version is configured to convert the **first visible sheet** of your Excel workbook. If you need to convert another sheet, you should move it to the first position or copy it into a new workbook.
3. What formatting is preserved?
The tool preserves the **content** (text and numbers) and the **tabular structure** (rows and columns). Complex cell formatting, colors, images, charts, and custom fonts from Excel are **not** preserved, as it generates a clean, standardized table in the PDF.
4. Why does the file download immediately?
The conversion is very fast since it's client-side. jsPDF automatically triggers the download process as soon as the PDF document is finalized, ensuring a seamless user experience.
5. Are there file size limits?
Since the work is done by your browser, limits are typically related to your device's memory. Very large files (e.g., millions of cells) might slow down or crash the browser, but most typical business spreadsheets work quickly and reliably.
