This extracts the text in your PDF, so it works best on real text PDFs — not scans. Table detection is automatic and approximate: it reconstructs rows and columns from the position of the text, so it can’t perfectly rebuild merged cells or complex layouts.

Pull the tables and text out of a PDF into an editable Excel (.xlsx) spreadsheet — extracted in your browser, so nothing is uploaded. It works best on PDFs that already contain real tabular text.

How to convert PDF to Excel

  1. Open your PDF. Drop the PDF onto the box or click to choose one.
  2. It rebuilds the tables. The text is read with its position and grouped into rows and columns — one worksheet per page.
  3. Download the Excel file. Get an .xlsx you can open and edit in Excel, Google Sheets or Numbers.

Frequently asked questions

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. Everything is extracted in your browser on your own device, so your PDF is never uploaded.

Is it free and do I need an account?

Yes, it's completely free with no sign-up.

How accurate is the table detection?

It's automatic and approximate — it groups text by position into rows and columns. Simple tables come through well; merged cells and complex layouts may need a little tidying afterwards.

Does it work on scanned PDFs?

Not directly — a scan is an image with no selectable text. Run it through OCR first, then convert.

What format is the file, and what opens it?

It's an .xlsx, which opens in Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc and Apple Numbers. Each PDF page becomes its own sheet.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes, it runs in any modern mobile browser.
