How to Convert PDF to Excel

1

Upload your data

Drop in a PDF that contains the tables, charts, or spreadsheet data you need to extract.

2

Extract the tables

The tool scans your document, recognizes grid layouts, and rebuilds them into rows and columns.

3

Download your spreadsheet

Save the .xlsx file. You can immediately open it in Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets to calculate and organize your data.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurately does it extract complex tables?
It handles clean, clearly bordered tables well. Merged cells, nested tables, or heavily styled layouts may need some manual tidying once the spreadsheet is open.
Can it read scanned receipts or images of tables?
No — this tool needs an actual text layer to detect rows and columns. If your PDF is a scanned image, run it through OCR PDF first so the text becomes recognizable.
What file format does the spreadsheet download as?
Otrzymujesz plik .csv, który można natychmiast otworzyć w programie Microsoft Excel, Arkuszach Google lub Numbers. Możesz go ponownie zapisać w formacie .xlsx, jeśli potrzebujesz natywnego formatu programu Excel.
Czy moje formuły lub formatowanie komórek zostaną zachowane?
No, PDFs only store the visual result, not formulas, so the extracted data comes through as plain values that you can then re-format or recalculate in your spreadsheet app.
What happens if my PDF has multiple tables on one page?
The tool groups text by its vertical position to rebuild rows, so multiple tables on a page are usually reconstructed correctly, though widely separated tables occasionally need to be split apart manually.
