Free PDF Generation from Spreadsheets: A Complete Guide

Generating PDFs from spreadsheets doesn't have to cost a fortune. In fact, with the right tool, you can do it completely free—no credit card required, no trial period, and no hidden fees.

Why PDF Generation Can Be Expensive

Most PDF automation tools charge monthly fees ranging from $20 to $100+ per month, even for basic features. Enterprise solutions can cost thousands annually. For small businesses, freelancers, or occasional users, these costs are simply not justified.

The Free Alternative: NexoPDF

NexoPDF offers a free plan with generous limits and no credit card required to start. The free plan never expires and includes professional features like:

  • Support for Excel, Google Sheets, and CSV files
  • Visual field mapping interface
  • Bulk PDF generation
  • Zero data retention for maximum privacy

How to Generate PDFs for Free

Step 1: Upload Your Spreadsheet

Start by uploading your data source. NexoPDF accepts Excel files (.xlsx, .xls), CSV files, and data from Google Sheets.

Step 2: Upload Your PDF Template

Upload the PDF template you want to populate with your spreadsheet data. This could be a contract, certificate, invoice, or any other document.

Step 3: Map Your Fields

Use the visual drag-and-drop interface to map spreadsheet columns to locations on your PDF template. Simply drag a field name and drop it where you want that data to appear.

Step 4: Generate Your PDFs

Click generate, and NexoPDF will create individual PDFs for each row in your spreadsheet. Download them individually or as a ZIP file.
