Excel to PDF
Turn Excel spreadsheets and CSV files into PDFs with their formatting, borders and number formats.
Turn a workbook into a PDF that looks like Excel’s own print-out. Currency, percentages and dates appear exactly as formatted, columns keep their widths, and wide sheets can be scaled so every column fits on the page.
How to convert Excel to PDF
- Choose one or more Excel (.xlsx) or CSV files.
- Pick the sheets, scaling, orientation and paper size.
- Click “Convert to PDF” and download.
Frequently asked questions
How do I stop columns being cut off?
Choose “Fit all columns on one page”. Wide sheets are scaled down so every column fits across the page, and rows continue onto as many pages as needed.
How do I convert XLSX to PDF?
Add your .xlsx file, pick the sheets, scaling, orientation and paper size, then click Convert to PDF. The PDF is created in your browser and downloads straight away; nothing is uploaded.
Can I convert .xls or .ods files?
Not directly. Open the file in Excel, Google Sheets or LibreOffice and save it as .xlsx, then convert that.
Are charts and images included?
Not yet. Cell contents, formatting, borders and merged cells are converted; charts, pictures and shapes are left out.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. ModifyPDF processes files with JavaScript inside your browser. Your documents never leave your device, and nothing is stored after you close the page.
What’s converted
Cell values as Excel displays them, including currency, percentage, date, time, fraction and custom number formats, plus fonts, bold and italic text, font and fill colours, borders, alignment, wrapped text and merged cells. Hidden rows, columns and sheets are left out, and a print area set in Excel is respected.
Page layout
Each sheet starts on a new page. “Fit all columns on one page” scales wide sheets to the page width; “Actual size” prints at 100% and continues extra columns on further pages, the way Excel does; “Fit sheet on one page” shrinks each sheet onto a single page. Orientation and paper size follow the workbook’s page setup unless you choose otherwise.
CSV files
CSV and semicolon- or tab-separated files are converted too. Column widths are sized to the content, numbers are right-aligned, and gridlines are drawn so the table is easy to read.
Formulas
The PDF shows the result Excel saved with each formula. If a workbook was generated by a program that doesn’t calculate formulas, open and save it in Excel or Google Sheets first so the results are stored in the file.
