PDF tables to JSON
Download every detected PDF table as JSON. Same job as PDF to JSON — this page is for the tables query. Not named-field extract, not invoice or bank remap.
How to turn PDF tables into JSON
1.Choose a PDF that contains tables, or drop it into the tool.
2.Click Extract JSON. We read text positions in your browser and OCR pages that have almost no text.
3.Preview the first detected table on the page.
4.Download the .json file. It includes tables[] (each with name, isTable, and rows) plus extracted text. Use Extract PDF fields if you want named labels.
FEATURES
Same extractor
PDF tables to JSON uses the PDF to Excel job as JSON. Detection runs in your browser. We do not upload the PDF.
Every detected table
The file is { text, usedOcr, tables }. Each table is an entry. It is not Extract PDF fields, not Invoice to JSON, and not Image to JSON.

Files stay local
This tool does not store your PDF on our servers.
Best-effort tables
We cluster text by position. Pages with almost no selectable text are OCR’d in your browser (up to 15 pages). If no table is found, the page text is placed in one column.
Works in the browser
Use it from any modern browser on Windows, Mac, or Linux.
Tables as JSON, not a workbook
People search for PDF tables to JSON when they want the detected tables themselves, not an Excel file. This page runs the same /pdf-to-excel extract. It is not a second tool in the Tools grid.
Extract PDF tables still downloads Excel plus first-table CSV. This page is JSON only. Invoice to JSON and Bank statement to JSON remap columns. Extract PDF fields fills named labels.
