How to convert XLS to PDF, step by step
Select your XLS file
Click the upload area or drag your XLS file straight onto it. You can drop several at once if you need to convert them all.
Check the target is PDF
The output format is already set to PDF. If you added several files and want a different format for each, switch to the "A format for each file" option.
Press Convert
Conversion runs without leaving your computer, so it starts instantly and never depends on your internet speed or on a queue at some server.
Download the result
Hit Download and save your new PDF file. If you converted several, you can grab them all together in a ZIP.
Why convert XLS to PDF?
PDF is far more compatible than XLS: virtually any device, program or website opens it with nothing extra installed. Going to PDF locks the document down: it will look identical on any computer, phone or printer, which is not guaranteed with a loose image.
