Convert PDF to Excel Online
Our free PDF to Excel converter extracts text and structured, table-like information from PDF documents and places the data into an editable Excel spreadsheet.
This is useful for reports, invoices, lists, statements and other text-based PDFs containing rows and columns.
The entire conversion happens inside your browser. Your PDF does not need to be uploaded to a remote server.
How PDF to Excel Conversion Works
PDF files do not normally contain spreadsheet cells in the same way that Excel files do. This tool reads the text positions on each PDF page and groups nearby text into rows and columns where possible.
The resulting spreadsheet can then be opened in Microsoft Excel, LibreOffice Calc, Google Sheets or other spreadsheet applications.
PDFs with clear, text-based tables generally produce better results. Scanned documents and complicated layouts may require OCR or manual cleanup.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the PDF to Excel converter free?
Yes. You can convert supported PDF documents into Excel files directly in your browser without creating an account.
Are my PDF files uploaded?
No. The conversion is performed locally in your browser. The PDF is not sent to a conversion server by this tool.
Can it convert tables from PDF to Excel?
Yes. The tool attempts to detect rows and columns based on the positions of text items within the PDF.
Will every PDF table convert perfectly?
No. PDF layouts vary considerably. Clear text-based tables usually work better than complex layouts, merged cells and scanned pages.
Can I edit the Excel file after conversion?
Yes. The generated XLSX file is an editable spreadsheet that can be opened in compatible spreadsheet applications.
Does it work with scanned PDFs?
Scanned PDFs contain images rather than selectable text. They generally require OCR before their contents can be reliably converted into spreadsheet data.
Can I convert a multi-page PDF?
Yes. The tool processes all pages in the selected PDF and combines the extracted data into the Excel workbook.
