PDF to Excel

Extract PDF text into a formatted Excel sheet.

Works best on text-based PDFs. Extraction is approximate since PDFs have no real table structure.

Convert PDF Tables to Excel

Extract the text from a PDF and lay it out in an Excel spreadsheet, one sheet per page, by grouping text into rows and columns based on its position. Everything runs in your browser.

How it works

  • Reads the text layer of each page
  • Groups items into rows by vertical position
  • Orders cells left-to-right within each row
  • Exports a multi-sheet .xlsx file

Important: best-effort

PDFs don't store real table structure, so extraction is approximate — it works best on clean, text-based PDFs (not scans) and may need light cleanup. Scanned PDFs have no text layer to extract.

Private & Processed Locally

Text extraction and the Excel file are produced entirely in your browser; your PDF is never uploaded.
