PDF to Excel - Convert a PDF Into a Spreadsheet

Rebuild the tables in a PDF as an XLSX or CSV spreadsheet, right in your browser.

Add a PDF

Convert

Add a PDF to convert its tables into a spreadsheet. Conversion happens in this tab — nothing is uploaded. A scanned PDF holds no text to read, and the tool will say so.

About PDF to Excel

This PDF to Excel tool reads the exact position of every piece of text on the pages you pick and uses those coordinates to rebuild rows and columns, rather than dumping a flat wall of text. Text that sits at roughly the same height is treated as one row, and the horizontal gaps between text across the whole page are used to work out where one column ends and the next begins. You can save the result as one worksheet per page or as all pages combined into a single sheet, and download it as a real .xlsx workbook or a .csv file. Column detection is a heuristic based on text position, so a simple table converts cleanly while merged cells, spanning headers or nested tables may need tidying afterwards. A scanned PDF has no text to read at all, and the tool says so plainly instead of handing you a blank spreadsheet. Everything runs on your own device, so the document never leaves the tab.

Features

100% Private

All processing happens in your browser. Your PDF is never uploaded to any server.

Position-Based Columns

Rows and columns are rebuilt from where text actually sits on the page, not guessed from a fixed grid.

No signup, no watermarks, no limits. Completely free to use forever.

How to use PDF to Excel

  1. 1

    Add your PDF

    Drop the PDF into the upload area, click to browse, or paste it with Ctrl+V.

  2. 2

    Pick the pages

    Type a range like 1-3, 5, 8- to choose which pages are read.

  3. 3

    Choose the layout and format

    Pick one worksheet per page or a single combined sheet, then choose XLSX or CSV.

  4. 4

    Convert

    Click Convert to Excel. Progress is shown page by page and can be cancelled at any point.

  5. 5

    Download the spreadsheet

    Rename the output if you like, then save the file. Check the result, since column detection is a heuristic and a complex table may need tidying.

Use cases

  • Pulling a pricing or data table out of a PDF quote or report
  • Getting the rows of a PDF invoice or bank statement into a spreadsheet
  • Moving a table from a PDF into Excel or Google Sheets for further analysis
  • Converting a multi-page PDF table into one continuous spreadsheet

Privacy

The PDF is read in your browser using JavaScript. Your file is never uploaded to a server, nothing is logged, and closing the tab discards it.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, this PDF to Excel tool is 100% free with no hidden charges, no signup required, no watermarks, and no usage limits.
Absolutely. The PDF is read directly in your browser using JavaScript. Your file is never uploaded to any server, so nothing leaves your device.
A scan is a picture of a page, so there is no text inside the file to read, only pixels. The tool detects a page with no text and tells you plainly rather than giving you a blank spreadsheet. If every selected page is a scan, no file is produced at all. Reading a scan needs OCR, which is not included in this tool.
Not always. Column detection is a heuristic based on where text sits on the page, which works well for simple, evenly spaced tables. Merged cells, headers that span several columns, and tables nested inside other tables are not reconstructed faithfully, and a complex page may need manual tidying after you download it. This tool does not aim for Excel-grade fidelity on every layout.
XLSX is a real Excel workbook and is the better choice if you plan to open the result in Excel, Google Sheets or a similar app. CSV is a plain text format that almost any tool can read, useful for importing into a database or a script.
One sheet per page keeps every PDF page as its own worksheet, named Page 1, Page 2 and so on, which is useful when the pages hold separate tables. A single combined sheet appends every page's rows one after another, which is useful when a table continues across several pages.
Yes. Type a range like 1-3, 5, 8- in the pages box to choose which pages are read. Only the pages you select are converted.
No. A password protected PDF has to be unlocked first. The tool says so plainly when you drop one in, rather than failing silently.
