Convert XLSX to JPG

Short answer

Converting XLSX to JPG renders your spreadsheet as it would print and saves the result as a compact photograph-style image. Cell styling and colours survive as pixels, formulas appear as their computed values, and the workbook itself stays private. Everything happens on your own computer.

All 2,748 conversions verified on macOS, Windows, and Linux against the shipping release, this one included. Every conversion runs entirely on your own computer.

How to convert XLSX to JPG

  1. Open Morphjet and drag in the XLSX file you want as a picture.
  2. Choose JPG as the output. The sheet is rendered locally, not uploaded.
  3. Save the image and attach it wherever a spreadsheet would not be accepted.

When to convert, and when not to

Convert XLSX to JPG when a table has to be attached somewhere that only takes images, or when the file must stay small. It is also the pragmatic choice for a quick visual record of a sheet at a point in time, since a JPG is trivial to store and forward.

Do not choose JPG for dense sheets full of small figures. Lossy compression softens the edges of text and gridlines, so tightly packed numbers get harder to read. PNG holds up far better, and the actual file is better still when the data will be used.

Why not just use an online converter?

Spreadsheets accumulate things people forget are in them: other tabs, hidden columns, the raw extract behind a summary, a formula pointing at someone's salary. Rendering locally keeps all of it on your machine, and sharing a picture of one sheet means the rest never travels either.

Questions

Will the colours and cell styling be kept?

Yes, the rendering follows how the sheet would print, so fills, borders and conditional formatting appear as they look on the page.

Is JPG or PNG better for a spreadsheet?

PNG almost always, because gridlines and small figures stay sharp. JPG makes sense when the destination only accepts photo formats or the file has to be as small as possible.

Does a multi-page sheet still work?

A workbook that prints across several pages is rendered accordingly. If the sheet is very wide it is worth adjusting the print area first so the result is readable.

Does this need an internet connection?

No. The sheet is rendered on your own machine, so it works offline and nothing is uploaded.
