About PDF to Excel

PDF to Excel is a free browser-based tool that extracts text from PDF pages, organises it into rows and columns using coordinate-based detection, and generates a downloadable Excel (.xlsx) file with one sheet per page. All processing happens locally, no file is ever sent to a server.

Best suited for PDFs that contain clearly structured tabular data: financial reports, data exports, price lists, and invoices. Each selected page becomes a separate sheet in the workbook, making it easy to navigate multi-page tables in Excel or Google Sheets.

How to Use PDF to Excel Converter

  1. Upload a PDF by clicking the upload zone or dragging and dropping the file.
  2. Page thumbnails render automatically, click to toggle selection (blue border = selected).
  3. Use Select All or Select None to adjust the selection quickly.
  4. Click Convert & Download Excel to generate and download the .xlsx file.
  5. Open the downloaded file in Microsoft Excel, LibreOffice Calc, or Google Sheets.

Tips for Best Results

  • Works best on PDFs generated from spreadsheet applications or data exports where column alignment is consistent.
  • Scanned PDFs (images of text) cannot be extracted, the PDF must contain actual selectable text content.
  • Each page becomes its own sheet, named "Page 1", "Page 2", etc.

Frequently Asked Questions

Column detection is based on the x-coordinates of text items in the PDF. If the original PDF has irregular spacing or non-tabular layouts, the columns may not align perfectly. This tool is optimised for PDFs with consistent grid-like tabular data.

There is no hard limit, you can convert all pages. For very large PDFs, the process may take a moment. The progress bar shows extraction progress.
