Is my spreadsheet uploaded?

No. It is read in your browser and the PDF is built there. Nothing is transmitted and nothing is retained after you close the tab.

Are formulas exported?

Their displayed results are. The PDF shows the values you would see in the sheet, not the formulas behind them.

Do charts and images come across?

No — this tool converts the cell data into a table. Charts, images and conditional-formatting colours are not drawn.

My table is too wide. What should I do?

Switch to landscape, choose a larger paper size such as A3, and drop the text size to 6 or 7 pt. Very wide cells are truncated with an ellipsis rather than overlapping.

Does cell formatting carry over?

Text and numbers appear as displayed, with an optional bold header row and grid lines. Fonts, fills and colours from the workbook are not reproduced.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. Every operation runs inside your browser tab using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Nothing is transmitted to MyToolyard or any third party, and nothing is stored after you close the tab.

Is there a file size or page limit?

There is no artificial limit — the practical ceiling is your device's memory. Files up to roughly 100MB are comfortable on a modern laptop; very large scanned documents are best processed in smaller batches.

Does it work on a phone or tablet?

Yes. The interface is fully responsive and touch-friendly. Very large documents will be slower on mobile because processing uses the device's own CPU and memory.

Excel to PDF — Overview

About this tool

What is Excel to PDF?

Excel to PDF reads an XLSX, XLS, ODS or CSV file in your browser and draws its rows as a paginated PDF table. It is for the everyday moment when a spreadsheet has to be sent, printed or attached somewhere that will not accept a workbook — or where you do not want the recipient editing the numbers.

You can convert a single sheet or every sheet in the workbook, set the page size and orientation, choose the text size, turn grid lines on or off and mark the first row as a header. A preview of the first rows shows exactly how the data was read before you commit.

The workbook is parsed on your device and the PDF is generated there as well, so a payroll sheet, client list or budget is never uploaded. That is a meaningful difference from the free converters that ask you to send the file to their servers.

Final thoughts

The bottom line

A spreadsheet is for working; a PDF is for sending. Converting locally means the numbers reach their destination looking the way you intended, without the workbook itself ever leaving your device.
