PDF to Excel

Convert simple text-based PDF tables into XLSX or CSV locally with page ranges, one-sheet-per-page output, merged tables, and clear extraction limits.

Supported files

PDF to Excel accepts standard .pdf files. It works best with selectable text tables that have visible column gaps. Scanned pages should go through OCR PDF first.

Options

Convert all pages or a typed page range.

Export XLSX, single CSV, or per-page CSV ZIP.

Merge detected rows into one sheet or keep one sheet per page.

Simple tables are detected from selectable text geometry, not AI table understanding.

Plain selectable lines can be exported as one-column rows when no columns are detected.

How to use PDF to Excel

  1. Upload PDF — Upload a text-based PDF and unlock it locally if the file requires a password.
  2. Review tables — Review the detected table sample and any extraction warning.
  3. Choose output — Choose pages, XLSX or CSV output, and merged or per-page sheets.
  4. Convert and download — Select Convert to Excel and download the spreadsheet output.

FAQ

Are my PDFs uploaded?
No. PDF.js reads selectable text in a browser worker and the spreadsheet is packaged locally.
Will every PDF table extract perfectly?
No. This is best-effort for simple text-based tables with clear columns. It does not infer complex tables.
What about scanned PDFs?
Use OCR PDF first. This tool needs selectable text before it can detect rows and columns.
