XLSX to JPG Converter

What happens when you convert XLSX to JPG

• The XLSX is opened by LibreOffice, the open-source office suite, on our conversion server, laid out exactly as it would print, and each page is then drawn as an image by MuPDF at 150 dpi, the resolution most documents are printed at.
• A one-page XLSX gives a single JPG; a longer one comes back as a ZIP file with one JPG per page, named page-01.jpg, page-02.jpg and so on, for up to 100 pages.
• At 150 dpi, an A4 page becomes about 1240 by 1750 pixels. The longest side is capped at 6,000 pixels.
• The JPG files are saved at 92 percent quality, which keeps text readable while staying far smaller than PNG.
• Sheets are printed across as many pages as they need, following their print area and page setup, so a wide sheet may be split across pages.
• Where the file uses a font our server does not have, a metric-compatible one is used instead: Carlito for Calibri, Caladea for Cambria and Liberation fonts for Arial, Times New Roman and Courier New, so lines break where they did. Unusual or decorative fonts may look different.
• This conversion runs on our server: the file is uploaded, converted, and deleted together with the result as soon as the result has been sent back to you. Nothing is kept. Files up to 25 MB are accepted.

How to convert XLSX to JPG online

1. Press "Choose XLSX files" and select one or more files, or drag them onto the box. Files up to 25 MB each can be converted.
2. There are no settings to choose: the converter keeps everything the target format can hold.
3. Press "Convert to JPG". The file is uploaded to our conversion server, converted in a few seconds, and deleted together with the result as soon as the result is sent back.
4. Save each JPG with its download button. Our server has already deleted both your XLSX and the JPG by then.

Why convert XLSX to JPG?

XLSX files usually come from business spreadsheets, reports and anything shared with Excel users. People convert them to JPG to share a page as a picture: in a chat or a social post, on a website, in a presentation, or in an upload form that only accepts images. JPG opens on every phone and computer without an office program.

On a Mac

Safari, Chrome and Firefox all work. Drag the XLSX files from Finder onto the drop zone and the JPG files land in Downloads.

Best settings for XLSX to JPG

There are no settings: every page is rendered at 150 dpi, the longest side is capped at 6,000 pixels, and at most the first 100 pages are converted.

To get one page only, save just that page as its own file first, or pick the image you want out of the ZIP. For a document you will print or send, PDF keeps the text sharp at any size and selectable.

XLSX vs JPG: the differences

About XLSX and JPG files

What is an XLSX file?

XLSX has been the default Excel format since Office 2007. Inside it is a ZIP archive of XML files, one per sheet, plus styles and shared text.

What is a JPG file?

JPG discards fine detail the eye is least sensitive to, which is why a photo shrinks to a tenth of its raw size but text and sharp edges pick up blocky artefacts. Every re-save at a lossy setting throws away a little more.

XLSX to JPG not working? Common problems

• "Files up to 25 MB can be converted." Server conversions have a size limit. Compress the images inside the file, or split it, and try again.
• "The conversion took too long and was stopped." Very long or complex files can pass the 90 second limit. Split the file and convert the parts.
• The file will not convert. It may be password protected, damaged, or saved in a newer or unusual version of the format.

Convert XLSX to JPG from the command line

LibreOffice and Poppler do the same on your own computer: the first command makes a PDF, the second writes one image per page.

soffice --headless --convert-to pdf input.xlsx
pdftoppm -r 150 -jpeg -jpegopt quality=92 input.pdf page

Converting on your own computer keeps the file entirely local, which is worth it for very large or very sensitive documents. For everything else, the converter on this page does it without installing anything.
