PDF to Excel

Extract tables from a PDF into an Excel workbook. Detection runs in your browser, so the file never leaves your device.

How to convert a PDF to Excel

  1. Choose a PDF that contains tables, or drop it into the tool.
  2. Click Extract Excel. 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 .xlsx file. Each detected table becomes a sheet.

Features

Private

Table detection runs in your browser. We do not upload the PDF.

Excel output

Each detected table is written to its own sheet in an .xlsx workbook.

Free to start

5 free jobs a day. Upgrade to Pro for larger files and more daily jobs.

Files stay local

This tool does not store your PDF on our servers. Other server tools delete files after 60 minutes.

Best-effort tables

We cluster text by position. Pages with almost no selectable text are OCR’d in your browser (up to 15 pages).

Works in the browser

Use it from any modern browser on Windows, Mac, or Linux.

When to use PDF to Excel

Use this when a PDF has invoices, reports, or schedules that you want in a spreadsheet.

The tool reads text coordinates and groups them into rows and columns. It is not a full reconstruction of every visual table.

If no table is found, we put the page text in one column so you still get a workbook. Invoice and bank-statement pages also normalize columns after this extract.

Questions

Does my PDF get uploaded?

No. PDF to Excel reads the file in your browser. The PDF stays on this device.

How many PDFs can I convert for free?

Free use is 5 jobs a day and files up to 25 MB, with no account. A $5 day pass raises that to 100 jobs and 200 MB files for 24 hours. Pro is $9 a month or $69 a year if you do this often.

What if the PDF has no real table?

You still get a workbook. Page text goes in one column. Use Invoice to Excel or Bank statement to Excel when you want those columns remapped.

Is the Excel file a perfect copy of the PDF layout?

No. The tool groups text positions into rows and columns. It is not a certified reconstruction of every visual table.
