About the Free PDF to Excel Converter

Need to get the numbers out of a PDF and into a spreadsheet you can actually edit, sort and sum? This free PDF to Excel converter reads the text in your PDF, figures out where the rows and columns are from each word's position on the page, and rebuilds the table as an editable .xlsx or CSV file — perfect for bank statements, invoices, price lists, financial reports and data tables.

Pick which pages to convert and whether each page becomes its own worksheet or everything lands in a single sheet. You'll see a live preview of the detected grid before you download, so you can confirm the layout looks right.

A quick, honest note: extracting tables from PDF is inherently a best-effort reconstruction, because PDFs store loose positioned text, not real spreadsheet cells. It works best on text-based PDFs (exported from Excel, accounting software, or the web) rather than scanned images, and very complex or merged-cell layouts may need a little tidying after export. Always double-check the figures.

Unlike most "free" online converters that upload your documents to a server, this tool runs 100% in your browser using the open-source pdf.js and SheetJS engines. Your PDF is read locally and the spreadsheet is built locally — nothing is transmitted, stored, or seen by anyone, which matters for financial and confidential data. It works on Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad, Android and Chromebook with no install. Need the opposite? Use PDF to Word for prose documents.

PDF to Excel FAQ

Is the PDF to Excel converter private? ▾

Yes. Extraction runs 100% in your browser using the open-source pdf.js and SheetJS engines — your PDF is never uploaded, stored or seen by a server, so financial and confidential data stays on your device.

How does it detect tables in a PDF? ▾

It reads the position of every piece of text on the page, groups items into rows by their vertical position, and into columns by horizontal gaps, then rebuilds the grid as spreadsheet cells.

Can it convert a scanned PDF to Excel? ▾

No. Extraction needs real, selectable text. Scanned PDFs are images with no text layer, so they produce no data — use a text-based PDF exported from Excel, accounting software or the web.

Can I download as CSV instead of .xlsx? ▾

Yes. You can download a native Excel .xlsx file or a universal CSV that opens in any spreadsheet app, including Google Sheets and Numbers.

Why are some columns merged or misaligned? ▾

PDFs store loose positioned text rather than true cells, so complex layouts, merged cells or tightly spaced columns can occasionally be grouped differently. Preview the grid first and tidy up after export if needed.

Can each page become its own worksheet? ▾

Yes. Choose one sheet per page to keep pages separate, or combine all pages into a single sheet.

Does it work on iPhone, iPad, Android and Mac? ▾

Yes. It runs in any modern browser on Windows, Mac, Chromebook, iPhone, iPad and Android — no install needed.
