Convert Excel to PDF

Turn an Excel spreadsheet (XLSX) into a PDF to send or print.

How can I check that nothing is uploaded?

Your files are processed in this browser tab. This page has no function that sends files to a server, and its security rules (Content Security Policy) forbid connections to other servers.

Check it yourself: load this page, then switch on flight mode or disconnect Wi-Fi and run the tool. It still works – because everything happens on your device.

Why FaLe?
  • Values as displayed

    Numbers, amounts and dates appear formatted as in the spreadsheet, formulas with their result.

  • All sheets

    Every visible sheet goes into the PDF; empty and hidden sheets are left out.

  • Fits the page

    Wide tables are scaled to the page width – very wide ones spread over several pages, with column and row headings for orientation.

  • No upload

    Payroll lists and statements stay on your device.

Frequently asked questions
Are formulas calculated?

The PDF shows the results of the formulas. They are usually stored in the file; if not, the tool recalculates common formulas itself.

Are colours and borders kept?

Bold, italic, text colours, cell background colours and borders are kept, plus a subtle grid. Images in cells and defined print areas are not taken into account.

Do old .xls files work?

No, only XLSX. Save an .xls file as XLSX in your spreadsheet app.

Are my files uploaded?

No. The file is read in your browser and the PDF is created there. After the first visit it even works offline.
