Excel spreadsheetPDF

Save an Excel spreadsheet as a PDF.

For sending a financial sheet without the formulas, or printing a budget snapshot.

PDF the spreadsheet when the recipient needs to see the numbers but not edit them — a financial summary, a budget snapshot, a quote for a client. The PDF shows the values, not the formulas. Pick the sheet you want (the first sheet converts by default) and the page orientation; the rest is automatic. Charts carry over; very heavy formulas (long volatile chains) sometimes evaluate to their last-cached value rather than the current value.

Common questions
Is my file secure?
We never read your file. Conversion runs in an isolated container, and we delete the upload and the result within an hour.
What's the file size limit?
50MB on Free · 200MB on Pro · 500MB on Max.
What if my PDF is too large to email?
Run the free PDF size check first — we’ll tell you whether your file fits in Gmail, Outlook, or Apple Mail, and which DocShop tool will get it there. The check runs in your browser; the file never leaves your device.
Will the PDF show formulas or values?
Values. Formulas are evaluated and the result is shown — a cell containing `=A1+B1` shows the sum, not the formula. The PDF represents the spreadsheet as it would print, not as it would re-open in Excel.
Which sheet converts by default?
The first sheet (the one visible when you open the file). If you have multiple sheets and want a specific one converted, hide the others or split the sheets into separate files first.
Do charts carry over?
Yes — embedded charts and conditional formatting (color scales, data bars, icon sets) render in the PDF. Sparklines render too. Pivot tables show as a static table, not an interactive pivot.
Does the page orientation match the source?
Yes — portrait sheets print portrait, landscape sheets print landscape. If the sheet is wider than the page, columns flow left-to-right then wrap to a new page.
Will formatting be preserved?
Layouts, fonts, and images come through cleanly. For signed contracts or anything going to a client, open the result once before sending — automated conversion is reliable but not perfect.
