Hi. When I’m converting an xlsx file to png (python request) the result I see is file is approximately as whole a4 page format. Is there possibility to convert only nonempty part of spreadsheet (for example, current selection, a range of cells or so on)?

You may use convertRange and skipEmptyRowsAndColumns properties of LoadOptions to print your required area, when you convert Microsoft Excel to PNG with GroupDocs.Conversion Cloud API. Please check the following documentation for more details. It will help you to accomplish the task

Thanks a lot, Tilal. It was perfectly useful for me. Unfortunately the whole navigation on this service is very uncomfortable and unfriendly - thats why I’ve asked this question here. I’ve tried to find it by myself, but failed. Fortunately you helped me. Many thanks once more!
