About PDF to Excel

PDF to Excel looks for real tables (ruled lines first, then text alignment) and writes each one to its own sheet. Numbers and percents stay numeric. Scans should go through OCR first; prose-only PDFs are rejected instead of becoming a junk spreadsheet.

What people use it for

  • Turn a PDF price list or statement into a spreadsheet
  • Copy table numbers without retyping
  • Move a report table into Excel or Google Sheets

Privacy: Your PDF is uploaded over HTTPS, processed, returned to you, then deleted from our servers immediately. We do not retain or share your files.
