# CSV to PDF
Turn CSV files into clean, formatted PDF documents. Each CSV is parsed and rendered as a table in the output PDF. This is useful when you need to print or share tabular data without requiring the recipient to have spreadsheet software.
## Supported Formats
| Format | Extensions |
| :----- | :--------- |
| CSV | `.csv` |
## How It Works
1. Click the upload area or drag and drop one or more CSV files.
2. Review the file list. Add more files or remove unwanted ones.
3. Click **Convert to PDF**. A progress indicator shows the conversion status.
4. A single file downloads directly as a PDF. Multiple files are packaged into `csv-converted.zip`.
## Options
This tool has no additional configuration. The CSV is automatically parsed and formatted as a table.
## Output
| Input Count | Output |
| :---------- | :------------------------------------------------------------ |
| 1 file | Single PDF download (e.g., `data.pdf`) |
| 2+ files | ZIP archive (`csv-converted.zip`) containing one PDF per file |
## Use Cases
- Converting exported database reports into printable PDF tables
- Sharing financial data or inventory lists with people who do not have Excel
- Creating PDF versions of CSV log files for compliance documentation
- Printing address lists, grade sheets, or any tabular data stored as CSV
## Tips
- For best results, ensure your CSV uses standard comma delimiters. The tool follows common CSV parsing conventions.
- If your CSV has many columns, the table may be compressed to fit the page width. Consider splitting wide datasets into multiple files.
- For Excel files (`.xls`, `.xlsx`), use the [Excel to PDF](./excel-to-pdf) tool, which preserves spreadsheet formatting and multiple sheets.
