PDF to Excel
Extract detected tables from PDFs with selectable text into an Excel workbook, with one table per sheet. Scanned tables are not recognized here. Files stay in your browser.

The next tool opens in a new tab. Keep this tab open until the file arrives. The PDF is passed locally; it is not uploaded or saved in browser storage.

What to expect
For PDFs with embedded text and regular table rows. Scans need OCR first. Detection can miss tables or place text in the wrong cell; compare the downloaded file with your PDF. Merged cells and original formatting are not reconstructed.
Each table becomes its own CSV file or Excel sheet. Values remain text. CSV values that could be interpreted as formulas are prefixed with an apostrophe; Excel cells are explicitly stored as text. When importing CSV into a spreadsheet, choose text columns to preserve leading zeros and number formatting.
Up to 10 MB input, 200 pages, 100 tables, 100,000 cells, 256 columns and 8 MB output. Processing stops after 30 seconds. Irregular rows are rejected rather than silently shifted.
