"My Excel file has charts. Will they look the same in PDF?"
Yes—and I made sure of this personally. Charts were the reason I built this tool. We preserve every detail: colors, labels, legends, gridlines, everything. Your pie chart won't turn into a blurry mess. It'll look exactly like it does in Excel.
"Can I convert only specific sheets? I don't need all 20."
Absolutely. In the "Sheets to Convert" dropdown, select "Select Range" and type which sheets you want. For example: "1-3, 5, 7-9" will convert sheets 1,2,3,5,7,8,9. Or just choose "Active Sheet Only" if you want the current sheet.
"My file is 80MB. Will it work? Is there a limit?"
Yes, it'll work—but with a caveat. Since everything happens in your browser, very large files (100MB+) might be slow on older computers. For most files under 50MB, it's instant. If your file is huge, give it a few seconds. No server limits, just your computer's processing power.
"Do you support the new Excel file formats? (.xlsx)"
Yes! We support .xlsx (Excel 2007+), .xls (Excel 97-2003), and even .csv files. Basically, if Excel can open it, we can convert it. And we preserve all the modern features: conditional formatting, data validation, sparklines, you name it.
"Is this really free? What's the catch?"
No catch. Seriously. I built this because I needed it, and I hate when tools limit you to 3 free conversions then ask for $20/month. There's no "pro" version, no watermarks, no registration. If you want to support us, just tell a colleague about it. That's it.
"My Excel file has multiple tabs. Will they become multiple PDF pages?"
Yes—and we even label them. Each sheet becomes a separate page in the PDF, with the sheet name as a header. You can choose to convert all sheets, only specific ones, or just the active sheet. Your choice.
"Can I use this on my phone? I need to send a PDF from my iPhone."
Yes! The tool works perfectly on mobile. The interface adapts to your screen, and you can upload from your phone's storage or even take a photo of an Excel printout (though that uses OCR, which is less accurate). Thousands of people use it on their phones daily.
"What about passwords? My Excel file is protected."
Currently, we don't support password-protected files because we can't open them in the browser (for security reasons). If your file is protected, remove the password first, convert it, then you can re-add protection to the PDF using our Protect PDF tool.
