Is the PDF to Excel tool free?

Yes, completely free with no signup required.

Your file is converted securely on our servers and never stored. It is deleted immediately after conversion.

How accurate is the extraction?

Conversion accuracy is best-effort using LibreOffice. Simple, clearly laid-out tables convert well. Merged cells, rotated text, and complex multi-column layouts may not extract correctly. Always verify the output.

Does it work with scanned PDFs?

No. Scanned PDFs contain images of text rather than actual text data. Only PDFs with selectable text can be converted. Use Image to Text (OCR) on scanned pages first.

What is the maximum file size?

Up to 50 MB. For very large PDFs, consider splitting them first.

How to Convert PDF to Excel

1
Upload your PDF
Click the upload zone or drag and drop your PDF. Your file is sent over an encrypted connection and never stored on our servers.
2
Convert to Excel
Click "Convert to Excel". LibreOffice processes the PDF server-side and extracts tabular data into a spreadsheet.
3
Download and clean up
Download the .xlsx file, open it in Excel or Google Sheets, and adjust column widths and formatting as needed.

PDFs with tabular data — financial reports, price lists, invoices, statistics — are notoriously difficult to work with because the data is locked into a fixed layout. Converting a PDF to Excel gives you live, editable data you can sort, filter, and analyse immediately.

How it works: Your PDF is sent over an encrypted connection to our server, where LibreOffice — the industry-standard open-source office suite — converts it to an .xlsx spreadsheet. The file is never stored and is deleted immediately after conversion.

Best results: The tool works best on PDFs with simple, single-column tables and consistent spacing. Data-dense reports with clear column headers convert particularly well.

When to expect limitations: Merged cells, multi-level headers, rotated text, and scanned PDFs (images of text without a text layer) may not extract cleanly. Always verify the output and adjust column widths after downloading.
