Why Convert PDF to Excel?

  • Edit and update data directly
  • Perform calculations with formulas
  • Create charts and visualizations
  • Sort and filter information
  • Import data into other applications

Features

  • Page Organization - Keep all content together or separate by page
  • Text Extraction - Intelligent text parsing from PDF pages
  • Privacy Protected - All processing happens in your browser
  • No Registration - Use the tool instantly without signing up

Best Practices for PDF to Excel Conversion

  • Simple Tables Work Best - PDFs with clear, well-defined tables convert most accurately
  • Check Original Formatting - Scanned PDFs may require OCR first
  • Review After Conversion - Complex layouts may need manual adjustment
  • Use CSV for Large Files - CSV format is lighter and opens faster

Frequently Asked Questions

XLSX is the native Excel format that supports multiple sheets, formatting, and formulas. CSV (Comma Separated Values) is a simpler text-based format that's universally compatible but doesn't support multiple sheets or formatting. Choose XLSX for Excel work, CSV for data import into databases or other systems.

This tool works with text-based PDFs where the text is selectable. Scanned PDFs (images of documents) require OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to extract text. If your PDF is a scan, you'll need to OCR it first before conversion.
