Excel spreadsheet to link

How to share an Excel spreadsheet as a link

Sometimes you want someone to read a spreadsheet, not edit it — a report, a price list, a schedule. Sending the .xlsx invites accidental changes, formula breakage, and a dozen renamed copies floating around. A link gives them a clean, read-only view instead.

1. Upload your .xls or .xlsx above.
2. We render it to a PDF snapshot and give you a link.
3. Share it — the spreadsheet opens in any browser, exactly as laid out.

Worth knowing: the link is a fixed, read-only view, not a live spreadsheet — there's no editing, sorting, or recalculating. For the cleanest result, set your print area and page layout in Excel before uploading, since that's what determines how the pages break.

Why share a spreadsheet as a link

• Read-only by default. No one can change your numbers or formulas, on purpose or by accident.
• One source of truth. Update the file from your dashboard and the link shows the latest — no "which version is this?"
• Opens anywhere. No Excel, Google Sheets, or Numbers required to view it.
• Trackable. See how many times the spreadsheet has been opened.

Who shares spreadsheets this way

• Finance and ops teams circulating reports and dashboards.
• Sales sharing a pricing sheet that shouldn't be edited.
• Organisers handing out schedules, rosters, or rotas.

Is it free?

Yes — uploading, converting, and getting a link are free, plus a QR code, embedding, and view tracking. Paid plans add more documents, larger files, a custom domain, and branding removal. See pricing.
