Convert PDF to Excel

Yes — this tool uses a server, like PDF to Word. You are asked for permission first and the prompt explains what happens. If you would rather nothing left your device, PDF to Text and PDF to Markdown both run entirely in the browser.

It is held in memory only while the request runs, then discarded. It is never written to disk, never added to a database, and never read by anyone. Nothing is retained.

By alignment. If a run of rows is split into the same number of columns at the same horizontal positions, it is a table. That is exactly how a printed table communicates its structure, so it works on invoices, statements, reports and price lists without needing the PDF to declare a table object.

The tool says so by falling back to a plain export: each page becomes one worksheet with the text down a single column. Nothing is lost, and you can see at a glance that the PDF has no table structure to extract.

A table glued together with vertical lines usually comes out cleanly, but one that relies on spacing alone can break if two columns sit very close together or a cell is empty. Widen the source or split the table before converting if the result looks wrong.

Yes. Values like 1,240,000 or 12.4% are written as numeric cells so Excel can sum them. Identifiers that merely look numeric — postcodes, employee numbers, anything with a leading zero — are kept as text so the leading zero is not lost.

No. A scan is a picture of a page with no text layer, so there is nothing to read. Run OCR PDF first to add a searchable layer, then convert the result.

One per table found. A five-page report with a table on each page gives you five worksheets, named Page1 Table1, Page2 Table1 and so on.

Up to 25 MB per document. Larger files should be split first with Split PDF, then converted in parts.
