PDF to Excel

Convert text-based PDF files into Excel spreadsheets directly in your browser.

Preparing the editor...

The guide and instructions on this page are available while the tool loads.

PDF to Excel helps users extract structured text from PDF files and place it into an editable Excel workbook. This is useful when working with table-like content, reports, and simple records stored inside PDFs.

The tool reads the text from each page, groups it into lines, and tries to split content into columns so it can be opened and edited in spreadsheet software like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets.

It works best with text-based PDFs that already contain selectable text. For scanned documents, complex visual tables, or image-only PDFs, OCR or more advanced server-side table detection may be needed.
