Convert Excel spreadsheets to PDF online

Turn XLSX or XLS workbooks into a downloadable PDF without installing desktop software. Choose which visible worksheets to include, set Letter or A4 page size, pick orientation, and optionally fit wide tables to the page width.

Your spreadsheet is processed locally in your browser and is not uploaded to Looty Tools. The result is a readable tabular PDF of cell values—not an exact replica of Excel’s print layout.

2. Review the workbook summary and select the worksheets to include.
