What is PDF to Excel?

Tables locked inside PDFs are painful to retype. This tool reads where each piece of text sits on the page, detects the columns, aligns every value into its column, and writes an Excel (.xlsx) workbook. Numbers, currency and percentages become real numeric cells and web links stay clickable.

A preview of your PDF is shown first. Conversion runs in your browser, so your file is never uploaded. It works best on PDFs with real text and clear column spacing.

How to use PDF to Excel in 3 steps

1

Add your PDF

Drag it in or choose it from your device.

2

Wait a moment

Rows and columns are detected from text positions.

3

Open the workbook

The .xlsx downloads with one sheet per page.

Good to know: Table detection is based on text positions. Merged cells, multi-line cells and cell borders are not recreated.

When to use it

Typical uses are invoices, bank statements, price lists and reports. Always check the totals after converting.

Tip: scanned PDFs need OCR PDF first, because they contain no text to read.

PDF to Excel – frequently asked questions

How accurate is the table detection?

It is very good for tidy tables with consistent column spacing, like invoices and statements. Merged cells, multi-line cells and tables without clear gaps may need manual fixing.

Does it work on scanned PDFs?

Not directly. Run OCR PDF first to add a text layer.

Are numbers real numbers?

Yes. Values such as 1,250.50, $85.50 and 12% become numeric cells, and currency and percent formats are applied.

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. PDF to Excel runs in your browser, so the file stays on your device. Pagemint has no accounts and does not store your documents.

Is PDF to Excel free?

Yes. PDF to Excel is free to use, with no signup, no watermark and no daily limit.
