PDF to Excel Converter

Upload the PDF and download the .xlsx that comes back. Each page becomes its own worksheet, with the page's tables and text set out in cells in the same arrangement as on the page.

Tables drawn with lines come out best: each ruled cell becomes a cell, with the original column widths, merged cells and borders. On a page with no drawn lines, the columns are worked out from where the text sits, which suits simple lists but is a best guess.

Not straight away. Every cell comes in as text, numbers included, so SUM and other formulas skip them until they are converted. Select the column and use Excel's Convert to Number option, or Text to Columns, to turn them into real numbers.

Each page of the PDF becomes its own worksheet in the workbook, named "Page 1", "Page 2" and so on.

Photos and other images embedded in the page are placed on the sheet near where they sat. Logos and graphics drawn as shapes rather than stored as images are not carried over.

It converts them, but a scanned page is placed in its worksheet as a picture, so there are no cells to work with. The result screen tells you when this has happened. To get the words and numbers out as text, use PDF to Text, which reads scanned pages with OCR.

Yes. Every tool works without paying and without an account. Files can be up to 200 pages and 80 MB, and a run that fails costs you nothing.

No. All tools work without signing in. An account raises your hourly allowance and lets you see what you have processed.

Your file stays on our server only for a short time while it is processed, then it is deleted. It is sent over an encrypted connection. We keep a record that the tool was used, but not the file name or what is in the file.
