Why convert XLSX to PDF
XLSX (Excel workbook) shines when spreadsheets you open in Excel, Google Sheets, or Numbers, yet many handoffs demand PDF because layout that stays consistent across devices and printers.

When to use this tool

- Browser limit: about 50 MB per file, up to 20 files per batch. PDFs are capped at 50 pages; large sheets at about 100,000 rows.
- Need a bigger file? For bigger PDFs or workbooks, use Adobe Acrobat, LibreOffice, Microsoft Office, or a desktop batch tool, then convert a trimmed copy here if you only need a quick private pass.
