Is converting Excel to PDF free and secure?

Accepted Answer

Question 2

Are my files stored after upload or automatically deleted?

Accepted Answer

Your Excel files remain protected throughout the entire process. They are used exclusively to create your desired output file (e.g., PDF), and all data is always transferred encrypted.

If you do not delete them manually, the system automatically and permanently deletes your files after no more than 2 hours. This ensures no third-party access. There is no permanent storage. More information can be found here: ilovepdf.com/en/help/legal

Question 3

Does the Excel-to-PDF conversion work on mobile phones, tablets, Mac or PC?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can use the Mobile App on your phone for free at ilovepdf.com/en/mobile (iOS / Android). The tool also works directly in the web browser on your phone and tablet.

Another option is to convert your Excel files offline, that is not via the online service, but locally on your device. This option is available for Mac and Windows: ilovepdf.com/en/desktop You can also download the iLovePDF app from the Microsoft Store.

Question 4

Are formulas, charts, and images displayed correctly in the PDF?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Formulas are output as static text/results, charts and images appear as in the print preview. However, it is important to know that interactive content (dropdowns, macros) does not work in the PDF.

Question 5

Can I convert multiple Excel files simultaneously into a single PDF?

Accepted Answer

You can upload an Excel document and convert it to PDF at the same time (up to 15 MB per file). This limit typically covers 95% of use cases. iLovePDF Premi um users can process up to 10 Excel files simultaneously.

For paid Premium users, the total file size can be up to 4 GB.

Question 6

Why does my Excel sheet appear too small or split across multiple pages in the PDF?

Accepted Answer

Excel automatically adjusts the sheet format. Solution: check the page layout, set scaling to ("Fit to one page"), reduce margins, or choose landscape orientation.

Question 7

Why does my PDF look different from the Excel file on screen?

Accepted Answer

Excel distinguishes between screen view and print layout. Zoom factors, column widths, page breaks, and scaling affect the PDF. Always check the print preview before exporting. With embedded fonts or high-quality embedded images, the file size may increase after conversion.

In this case, you can compress the PDF to reduce size in the same workflow (ilovepdf.com/en/pdf_compress) and/or remove unnecessary pages. ilovepdf.com/en/organize

Question 8

Can I convert Excel files to PDF without having Microsoft Excel installed?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The iLovePDF online converter works completely in the browser, so you don’t need Microsoft Office installed locally. *.xls or *.xlsx formats are supported most reliably.
