What it does. Reads the text in a PDF, rebuilds rows and columns, and saves the result as an Excel (.xlsx) file. It runs in your browser.
How to convert PDF to Excel
- Drop a PDF that contains text tables onto the box.
- Choose the pages, whether the result goes on one sheet or one sheet per page, and whether numbers become real numbers.
- Press Convert to Excel to download the .xlsx file.
Tips for better results
- Works best on PDFs exported from software, such as bank statements or reports with clear columns.
- Untick the real numbers option if you want every value kept exactly as printed.
- Check totals after converting. Numbers are copied as they appear.
Limits to know about
- The PDF must contain real text. A scanned PDF has none, so run it through the OCR PDF tool first.
- Table layout is guessed from the position of the words, so complex or borderless tables can come out misaligned.
- Percentages and numbers with leading zeros are kept as text on purpose.
- Password protected PDFs cannot be opened.
- Tested with generated sample PDFs only. Real statements and reports vary, so verify the figures.
Privacy
Your PDF is processed on your own device and is not uploaded. The reading libraries are loaded from a public code network (jsDelivr).
Frequently asked questions
Is PDF to Excel free?
Yes. No sign-up and no limit.
Why do I see a message about no text?
The PDF is probably a scan. Use the OCR PDF tool to add text and then convert.
Will it match the original table exactly?
Not always. Review the sheet before using it.
Can I get each page as its own sheet?
Yes, pick that option before converting.
