FAQ
How does Excel to PDF conversion work?
We use SheetJS (xlsx) to parse your spreadsheet entirely in your browser. The data is rendered as a styled HTML table, then converted to PDF using your browser's built-in print functionality. You can preview each sheet, pick orientation, and customize before saving.
Is my spreadsheet uploaded to a server?
No. All processing happens locally in your browser. Your file never leaves your device — no upload, no server, no storage.
Which file formats are supported?
Both modern Excel files (.xlsx) and legacy Excel files (.xls) are supported. CSV files also work.
Will formulas and charts be preserved?
Cell values (including formula results) are preserved. Merged cells are rendered with correct colspan/rowspan. Bold, italic, and number formats are applied when available. Charts, images, macros, and conditional formatting are not rendered — this is a lightweight browser-based converter focused on tabular data.
What about multi-sheet workbooks?
All sheets in your workbook are detected. You can select which sheets to include using the sheet selector tabs, or convert all sheets at once. Each sheet gets a header and page break in the PDF output.
Can I choose page orientation?
Yes. Use the Portrait/Landscape toggle to set the page orientation before downloading. Landscape is ideal for wide spreadsheets with many columns.
How does "Download PDF" work?
Clicking "Download PDF" uses html2pdf.js to render the spreadsheet content directly into a PDF and downloads it — no print dialog needed. The selected orientation is applied automatically. Use "Print" if you prefer the browser print dialog instead.
What happens with very large spreadsheets?
For sheets with over 1,000 rows, the preview shows the first 100 rows for performance. The full data is always included in the PDF and HTML exports.
Can I download as HTML instead of PDF?
Yes. Use the "Download HTML" button to get an editable HTML file with the same table styling. This is useful if you want to make further edits before printing.
How is this different from Excel's built-in "Save as PDF"?
Excel's native export preserves more formatting (charts, conditional formatting, print areas). This tool is for when you do not have Excel installed or need a quick conversion without opening the file. It handles tabular data well but skips decorative elements.
Can I convert Google Sheets files?
Yes. Download your Google Sheet as .xlsx first (File > Download > Microsoft Excel), then upload it here. Google Sheets exports clean .xlsx files that convert well.
Can I compress the output PDF?
Yes. If the resulting PDF is large, use our <a href="/ai/pdf/compress">PDF Compressor</a> to reduce the file size.
Can I merge multiple Excel PDFs into one?
Yes. Convert each spreadsheet to PDF, then use our <a href="/ai/pdf/merge">PDF Merger</a> to combine them into a single document.
Does this support .csv files?
Yes. CSV files are parsed by SheetJS the same way as .xlsx files. The data is rendered as a single-sheet table in the PDF output.
Coda One's Excel to PDF converter reads .xlsx and .xls files using SheetJS entirely in your browser. Merged cells, bold/italic formatting, and number formats are preserved. Select which sheets to include, preview data as clean HTML tables, choose portrait or landscape orientation, then download as PDF, HTML, or use the browser print engine. No upload, no server, no signup.
