Frequently Asked Questions

What parts of the Excel spreadsheet are converted to PNG?

The converter creates a PNG image of the active worksheet, including all visible data, formatting, charts, and graphics. Hidden columns or rows are not included in the image output.

Will charts and formulas show in the PNG image?

Charts and visual elements are rendered in the PNG, but formulas appear as their calculated values. The underlying formula logic is not visible in the image format.

Which worksheet is converted if my Excel file has multiple tabs?

By default, the first visible worksheet is converted to PNG. If you need a specific sheet converted, ensure it's the active sheet when saving your Excel file before upload.

Will cell formatting and colors be preserved in the PNG?

Yes, LibreOffice preserves cell colors, borders, fonts, and other formatting elements when converting to PNG. The visual appearance closely matches the original spreadsheet.

Can I convert password-protected Excel files to PNG?

No, password-protected Excel files cannot be processed. Please remove password protection from your XLSX file before uploading for conversion to PNG.

What resolution is used for the PNG conversion?

The PNG is generated at a standard resolution suitable for viewing and sharing. The exact dimensions depend on your spreadsheet's content and column/row count.

Does the conversion preserve Excel's print layout?

The PNG conversion uses the spreadsheet's display view, not print layout. For print-specific formatting, consider converting to PDF first, then PDF to PNG if needed.

How large can my Excel file be for PNG conversion?

Files up to 100MB are supported. Very large spreadsheets may take longer to process, and the resulting PNG size will depend on the data complexity and formatting.

Can I convert Excel files with macros to PNG?

Yes, but macros are not executed during conversion. Only the visible data and formatting in the spreadsheet cells are rendered in the PNG image.

Is there a way to convert multiple Excel sheets to separate PNGs?

This converter processes one sheet per conversion. To convert multiple worksheets, you'll need to upload each sheet separately or save them as individual Excel files first.
