Converting an Excel Spreadsheet to PDF and then to JPG
We first take the Excel file, convert it to PDF, and then to JPG. As Microsoft Office doesn’t allow users to save Excel as images, you can use this method instead!
When Would You Convert Excel to JPG?
Saving your Excel sheet as a JPG image locks in your data exactly as it appears. No editing, no formatting shifts, and no surprises when someone else opens the file. Since JPGs are universally viewable, you don’t need to worry whether the recipient has Excel, or the right fonts installed. They’ll see your work exactly how you intended.
It’s also a great choice when you need to share a snapshot of your spreadsheet in a report, presentation, or even on social media. Unlike a spreadsheet, a JPG doesn’t invite edits or accidental changes—it’s view-only and compact, making it ideal for everyday sharing.
Will the Converter Affect My File’s Quality?
If you’re converting an Excel file that only contains text and figures, the resulting JPG file will have an image quality 100% identical to the original XLSX or XLS file. In case you’re converting Excel files containing images, the resulting PDF file might show slight differences in the quality of your image, depending on the original formatting. So, if we’re talking about screenshots, the quality will not be affected at all. If the images inside the files are photos from a digital camera, though, the image resolution will be adapted to JPG standards.
How To Get the Best-Quality Image
To make sure your exported JPG looks its best, open your Excel file and adjust the zoom level to 100% before converting. This ensures everything appears true to size. Turning gridlines off and keeping your formatting clean will also help create a clearer, more professional-looking image.
Where Can I Store My New JPG File?
Anywhere you’d like. On the result page, you can click “Download” to save your file in image format to your computer. Right next to the download button, you’ll also see a little arrow. Here, you can choose to save the image to Dropbox, OneDrive, or Google Drive.

Excel to JPG Conversion Questions Answered
Can I convert more than one Excel file at once?
Yes, if you’re using Smallpdf Pro, you can upload and convert multiple Excel files, including XLS and XLSX, to JPG in one go. This is great for high-volume workflows or recurring tasks. The batch process is just as easy and lets you save time by avoiding manual repetition.
Do hyperlinks or formulas work after conversion?
No—once your file is converted to a JPG, all interactive features like formulas and hyperlinks are flattened into the image. Think of it like a screenshot: what you see is what you get. If you need someone to view the data but not interact with it, this is exactly what you want.
Is it safe to upload sensitive files to Smallpdf?
Yes. All files uploaded to Smallpdf are protected with advanced TLS encryption. As an added privacy measure, they’re automatically deleted from our servers after one hour. If you’d rather not upload at all, you can use the Desktop App to work locally without internet access.
Can I choose a specific worksheet or tab to convert?
Absolutely. The easiest method is to save the tab you want as a separate Excel file, then upload just that one for conversion. This avoids accidentally including extra data and keeps the JPG output clean and focused.
Why JPG Works So Well for Excel Data
JPGs are compact, compatible, and clean. They give you a fixed snapshot of your spreadsheet that’s easy to share, whether you’re sending a report to a colleague or embedding a table in a slide. Unlike editable formats, they show your work exactly as you designed it—with no risk of changes or formatting slips.
And with Smallpdf, converting XLSX to JPG is fast, secure, and totally beginner friendly.
