Can I convert Excel spreadsheets with multiple sheets?

Yes. When you upload an Excel file with multiple sheets, the tool detects them automatically and shows sheet tabs so you can select which sheets to include in the PDF output.

Is my data safe when using this tool?

Absolutely. All processing happens 100% in your browser using JavaScript. Your files are never uploaded to any server. No data leaves your device at any point.

What file formats are supported?

The tool supports Word documents (.docx) to PDF, Excel spreadsheets (.xlsx, .xls, .csv) to PDF, and text extraction from PDF files. The output for text extraction can be copied or downloaded as a .txt file.

Are there file size limits?

Since processing happens in your browser, limits depend on your device's memory. Most devices handle documents up to 20MB without issues. Very large or complex files may take longer to process.
