Excel & CSV to PDF Converter — Free Online
Convert Excel spreadsheets (XLS, XLSX) and CSV files to clean, shareable PDFs in seconds. No login, no watermark, and no limits.
Ideal for reports, invoices, statements, timesheets, and data exports that must look the same on every device.
Why convert Excel or CSV to PDF?
Excel and CSV are perfect for editing and analysis, but not everyone has spreadsheet software installed — and layouts can break when viewed on different devices. Converting to PDF gives you a fixed, read-only version that looks the same everywhere.
- Share tables with perfect layout. Ensure columns, headers, and totals display consistently on any device or PDF viewer.
- Meet upload requirements. Many job portals, client systems, and government forms accept only PDF uploads, not XLSX or CSV files.
- Protect formulas and structure. When you export to PDF, recipients see the final result but can’t accidentally break formulas or delete rows.
- Print-ready in one click. A PDF version of your spreadsheet is easier to print, archive, and attach to emails or chat messages.
- Free and private. This Excel to PDF converter is free forever, with no signup and conversion running in your browser where possible.

Tips for clean, printable tables in your PDF
Converting a spreadsheet to PDF is straightforward, but a few small tweaks can make your exported PDF much easier to read:
Format the sheet before export
- Limit each sheet to the key columns you need before exporting to PDF.
- Use clear headings and bold totals so they stand out on the PDF.
- Check print area and page breaks in Excel when possible to avoid clipped columns.
- Prefer portrait or landscape orientation based on the number of columns.
Make data easier to understand
- Add descriptive headers and freeze the top row before export.
- Use number formatting for currency, percentages, and dates.
- Highlight key rows (like totals) with bold text or a subtle background.
- Remove unused columns so the PDF focuses on what matters.
After converting, quickly scroll through the PDF to confirm everything looks right. If you see a clipped column or awkward break, adjust the spreadsheet and run the export again — it only takes a moment.
