  • What happens to quality during the conversion process?

    Converting an Excel file to PDF usually maintains text, formatting, and layout with clarity. 

    To get the best results, it’s helpful to check page size, layout, and scaling before converting. This ensures images stay sharp, content fits cleanly on the page, and everything appears as intended in the final PDF.

    The Lumin Google Drive integration allows you to access Excel files stored in your Drive without downloading them first. Simply connect your Google account to Lumin, then right-click any Excel file in Drive and select "Open with" > "Lumin PDF." 

    After conversion, the PDF is automatically saved back to your Drive folder, keeping everything organized in one place.

    Your data security is our top priority. All files are encrypted using 256-bit SSL encryption during transfer and AES encryption while stored.
