Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Excel to JPEG conversion free?

Yes, completely free. Convert XLSX to JPG with no cost, no signup, and no watermarks.

Will my spreadsheet formatting be preserved?

Yes. The JPEG image preserves the visual formatting, fonts, colors, borders, and layout of your Excel spreadsheet as it would appear when printed or displayed in Excel.

What happens to formulas in the converted image?

Formulas are rendered as their calculated values in the JPEG. The image shows the results of formulas, not the formula text itself.

Can I convert spreadsheets with multiple worksheets?

The conversion captures the active/first worksheet only. If you need images of multiple sheets, convert each sheet separately or ensure the desired sheet is the first one.

What resolution is the output JPEG image?

The image is generated at print quality resolution, typically 150-300 DPI depending on the spreadsheet size and content complexity.

Is my file kept on your servers?

No. Files are automatically deleted immediately after conversion. Nothing is stored or retained.

Is the transfer secure?

Yes. Files are transferred over encrypted HTTPS connections. Your data is protected in transit.

What technology powers this conversion?

The conversion uses LibreOffice headless on our servers. LibreOffice renders the Excel file exactly as it would appear visually, then exports it as a high-quality JPEG image.

Will charts and graphs be included?

Yes. Charts, graphs, images, and other visual elements in your Excel spreadsheet are preserved and rendered in the JPEG output.

What is the maximum file size supported?

Files up to 50 MB are supported for free conversion.

Can I control the JPEG quality or compression?

The conversion uses high-quality JPEG compression optimized for readability of text and data. Custom quality settings are not currently available.

What if my spreadsheet is very wide or has many columns?

LibreOffice will fit the entire visible content into the image, scaling as needed. Very wide spreadsheets may result in smaller text to fit all columns in the image frame.
