FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert XLS to PDF?+
Upload your XLS file (or drag it onto the box above), wait a few seconds while StandardsPDF converts it in your browser, then download the PDF. There is nothing to install and no account required.
Is converting XLS to PDF free?+
Yes. XLS to PDF conversion is free on the StandardsPDF free tier – no watermark, no signup, and no credit card. A Pro tier lifts the file-size and daily limits if you need more.
Will the PDF keep the quality of my XLS?+
StandardsPDF aims for the highest fidelity the PDF format allows, so your spreadsheet comes through looking as close to the original as possible. Some format-specific details may adapt where PDF works differently to XLS.
Will the PDF keep the pages and text from my XLS?+
Page order, selectable text, images and links from your XLS are preserved so the PDF stays true to the original.
How long does a XLS to PDF conversion take?+
Most XLS files convert to PDF in a few seconds. Larger or higher-resolution files take a little longer, but there is never a queue on the free tier.
Is my XLS file kept private during XLS to PDF conversion?+
Yes. Your XLS is processed in an isolated worker, never shared, and permanently deleted from our servers within 60 minutes. Most XLS to PDF conversions happen right in your browser.
Do I need to install anything to convert XLS to PDF?+
No. Converting XLS to PDF runs entirely in the browser – no desktop software, no extensions and no account for the free tier.
What is the maximum XLS file size I can convert to PDF?+
Up to 100 MB per XLS on the free tier and 2 GB on Pro. If your XLS is larger, split it first or upgrade for the higher limit.
