Convert XLSX to TIFF

You want to share a spreadsheet, but the other side should see it, not edit it, and should not need Excel or a plugin to open it. A TIFF image solves both problems: it opens in any basic viewer and locks the numbers as a picture. With Total Excel Converter you convert XLSX to TIFF in batch, so a whole folder of workbooks becomes image files in one run.

Quick answer: To convert XLSX to TIFF, install Total Excel Converter, open the folder with your XLSX files, check the ones you need, click the TIFF button, set the paper size and orientation, then press Start. Every sheet of every selected workbook is exported to a TIFF image offline, with no upload and no size limit.

Why turn an XLSX file into a TIFF image?

A TIFF is the safe format for archives, fax and image-only sharing. It is a single self-contained picture, so nobody can change a cell, and it survives long-term storage without depending on the Excel version that created it. TIFF also handles multi-page output well, which suits a workbook with several sheets or a wide table that spills across pages. If you prefer a lighter, web-friendly image, the Excel to JPEG route gives you compressed pictures instead.

How do I convert a whole folder of XLSX files?

Total Excel Converter reads every sheet in a workbook and can process many XLSX files in one conversion. For a quick job, keep the defaults: select the files, choose TIFF, press Start, and TIFF copies appear in a minute. For more control, adjust the settings before you start:

Pick the output folder for the TIFF files
Set a standard or custom paper size for the image pages
Choose portrait or landscape to fit wide, many-column sheets
Process every sheet of every workbook automatically
Delete the originals after conversion if you no longer need them

When a sheet is too big for one page, the converter splits it into several TIFF pages of the paper size you chose, so nothing is cut off. Need an editable document instead of an image? Convert the same files to PDF with the offline Excel to PDF option.

For scans, faxes and legal archives, landscape orientation usually reads better for spreadsheets, since most tables have more columns than rows. Set it once and the whole batch follows.

Total Excel Converter runs on Windows 7, 8, 10 and 11. The 30-day trial is fully functional and needs no email or credit card, so you can test the TIFF output on your own workbooks before you buy.

Once your tables are TIFF images you can also treat them as graphics, dropping them into presentations, collages or design mockups.

Download Total Excel Converter and turn your spreadsheets into shareable images every time you need them.

Total Excel Converter Customer Reviews 2026

Rate ItRated 4.7/5 based on customer reviews

"Our retention policy requires financial spreadsheets stored as images, not live files, so they cannot be altered years later. Total Excel Converter turned a decade of XLSX ledgers into multi-page TIFFs in one batch. Landscape orientation kept the wide columns readable, and every sheet came through without a single one being missed."

"We still send order confirmations to a few partners by fax gateway, which only accepts TIFF. Converting the day's XLSX confirmations to TIFF used to be a one-file-at-a-time chore. Now I select the folder, pick the paper size and it is done in a minute. The only reason it is not five stars is I wish presets could be saved."

4 Star Kenji Watanabe Operations Assistant, Sunfield Trading

"Auditors asked for read-only copies of our rate tables that open on any machine without Excel. TIFF was perfect and Total Excel Converter processed every workbook, every sheet, in a single pass. The images are clean, nobody can edit the numbers, and they open in the basic viewer on the auditor laptops."
