What does this tool do?

This free PDF-to-Excel converter extracts tabular data from PDFs into editable .xlsx spreadsheets you can open in Excel or Google Sheets. It detects table-like text alignment on each page and reconstructs rows and columns — running entirely in your browser for privacy.

How does the pdf to excel work?

PDF.js extracts every text run with exact coordinates; the converter clusters them into rows by vertical position and into columns by horizontal alignment gaps, then writes the grid to a real .xlsx workbook (one sheet per page) with SheetJS.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is PDF table extraction?

For cleanly formatted, text-native tables (bank statements, exported reports), expect 90%+ cell accuracy with occasional merged-column fixes needed. Tables with wrapped multi-line cells or no consistent column alignment extract roughly and need manual cleanup. Scanned PDFs don't work — they need OCR.

Why are my numbers in the wrong columns?

PDFs don't store tables — just positioned text. The converter infers columns from alignment gaps, so tables where columns nearly touch, or right-aligned numbers overlapping headers, can shift cells. Fix is usually quick in Excel: the data is all present, just occasionally in a neighboring column.

Is the PDF to Excel converter really free?

Yes — 100% free with no hidden charges, trial limits, or premium tiers for core features. No account or email needed. The site is supported by non-intrusive display ads, which keeps every tool free for everyone.

Are my files private when using the PDF to Excel converter?

Completely. The PDF to Excel converter processes everything locally in your browser — your files are never uploaded to any server. When you close the tab, everything is gone. This makes it safe for confidential documents, client work, and personal photos.

Does the PDF to Excel converter work on mobile phones?

Yes. It's built mobile-first and works on any modern phone browser — iPhone (Safari) and Android (Chrome) included. You can pick files straight from your camera roll and download results directly to your device.

Do I need to install any software to use the PDF to Excel converter?

No. The PDF to Excel converter runs entirely in your web browser — no downloads, extensions, or signup. Open the page, use the tool, download your result. It works on Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, iOS, and Android.
