PDF to Excel (tables)

Tables from a PDF into cells

Up to 2 GB on a computer, 200 MB on a phone. It depends on free memory.

Tables are worked out from where the text sits. Each page with a table gets its own sheet. Check columns, merged cells and numbers; formulas aren't carried over. Run a scan through OCR first.

    Your file stays on your device. No sign-up, no limits.

    PDF to Excel finds tables by where the text sits on the page and builds an XLSX file, with a separate sheet for every page that has a table. Numbers come through as numbers, so you can add them up straight away. Formulas from the original don't. Scanned PDFs need OCR first, and merged cells deserve a quick check.

    How it works

    The tool looks for at least two columns and two rows of lined-up text. A table that is only a picture inside the PDF stays invisible to it until you run OCR. Bank statements are a typical snag: a transaction description that wraps onto a second line can end up split across two cells. That takes seconds to tidy up in Excel.

    Choose the file, press “Extract tables” and check the preview before you download.

    Worked example

    A supplier sends a price list as a PDF with the columns Code, Item, Quantity and Price. After conversion, click a price such as 1,250.50 and make sure Excel treats it as a number (it sits on the right of the cell). Then look at a code like 00412: it should still be text, leading zeros and all.

    Questions people ask

    How do I convert a PDF to Excel for free?

    Choose the PDF here and press “Extract tables”. There's no account and no daily limit.

    Are formulas carried over?

    No. A PDF only stores the value you see, not the formula behind it.

    What if the table is scanned?

    Run OCR first. How well the cells line up then depends on how cleanly the words were recognised.

    Does it handle 1.234,56 as well as 1,234.56?

    Yes. Clear numbers with either a decimal comma or a decimal point become numbers. Dates, codes with leading zeros and anything ambiguous stay as text.

    Can I convert a bank statement PDF to Excel?

    Usually, yes, as long as the statement is a digital PDF and not a scan. Check wrapped descriptions and the running balance column afterwards.
