PDF to CSV Converter — Extract PDF Tables to CSV Free

Preview the extracted tables on screen and copy them without signup. Sign in for daily free CSV exports. After that allowance, use Premium or credits; the export button shows the cost.

Upload the PDF and the tool detects the tables on its pages. The largest table opens in an editable grid, and after you fix any misread cell it downloads as one UTF-8 CSV file you can drop straight into a spreadsheet, database or BI tool.

Only the largest table is exported for a single PDF, so the CSV does not contain the others. A table that continues onto the next page is not joined to its first part. Split the PDF so each table sits in its own document, or use PDF to Excel and combine the parts yourself, if you need more than one.

Yes. The CSV output is RFC-4180 compliant with UTF-8 encoding and CRLF line endings, which every modern spreadsheet (Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers, Airtable) and BI tool (Tableau, Power BI, Looker, Metabase) imports without configuration prompts. Drop the file and start analyzing immediately.

The grid shows what was read: every row has a complete set of columns, and you can fix, add or delete rows and cells in the grid before you download. Check merged headers and sub-header rows there, because they are not rebuilt automatically.

Yes. Currency symbols ($, €, £, ¥, ₹), date formats (any locale), percentages and Unicode characters (accented letters, Chinese, Arabic, emojis) survive the conversion intact. Quoting and escaping follow the CSV spec, so importing into Postgres, MySQL or SQLite preserves the data faithfully.

Uploads are removed under our Security policy — unless you explicitly share a result, which keeps it at a public link anyone who has it can open without automatic expiration while Pixoate provides the sharing service — never used for training, never shared. The CSV output has no watermark, no attribution column, no tracking pixel — it is plain data extracted from your own file: You keep the rights you have in files you upload and in your original contributions to results — Pixoate does not claim ownership of them. Use it for ETL pipelines, CRM imports and sales-pipeline analysis.

Yes — the largest detected table opens in an editable grid before download, so you can click any cell to correct a misread, add a missing row with the + button, or delete a row that shouldn't be there. Your edits are what gets written into the final CSV, not the raw extraction.

No. A PDF's table text is read straight from the file, so there is no per-cell confidence to show and the PDF to CSV preview has no amber cells. Amber shading appears on the image table tools, such as Image to CSV and Image to Excel, where text is recognized from pixels. Check the numbers against your PDF before exporting.

Yes — click Reset to discard every manual edit and restore the table exactly as it was first extracted from the PDF, without re-uploading the file. This is the fastest way to back out of a correction pass that went wrong.

Yes, but the grid and the CSV hold the largest table only. The other tables in the same PDF are not included, so use PDF Split to isolate the pages of each table and run each page range through PDF to CSV if you need them all.

Convert and review the extracted table on screen for free without signup, and copy it from the grid. The Excel and CSV file exports come with Premium, or one credit, and free use is subject to fair use.

Scan the grid row by row for the classic OCR slips — a merged column, a dropped decimal, a stray header line picked up as data — since those are the mistakes most likely to throw off a reconciliation. Use Add row to restore a line the detector merged or skipped, Delete row to drop stray header or footer text read in as a row, and Reset if a correction pass goes wrong and you'd rather start over from the original extraction. Only download once the grid matches the statement, so the CSV that reaches QuickBooks or Xero is already clean.

No — there is no such preference control anywhere in the tool; sub-header detection and placement is fully automatic and cannot be switched by the user, despite what some site copy implies. If the automatic result puts a sub-header in the wrong place, use the editable verify grid to fix or delete that row with the cell editor, Add row or Delete row before downloading, or adjust the CSV afterward in a spreadsheet.

Yes — preview extracted tables and download the unbranded CSV output without signup under fair use. Every table is extracted in one pass.

Upload the statement PDF and the converter locates each transaction table and exports it as its own CSV file, bundled together in a zip. Open a CSV in Excel or Google Sheets and the dates, descriptions and amounts land in separate columns, ready for sorting, filtering or reconciliation — far faster than retyping a month of transactions by hand.

Yes — Pixoate supports batch and bulk processing. Switch to Batch mode, add up to 60 PDFs on Premium or 200 on Pro, set your options once, and every PDF is processed with the same settings before you download a single ZIP. Bulk processing is a Premium feature; the output uses the same quality and settings as single mode.

Yes — with bulk processing you configure the settings a single time and they apply to every item in the batch — up to 60 PDFs on Premium or 200 on Pro. There is no need to repeat the setup per item, and Temporary uploaded and generated files are processed securely and deleted automatically.

Almost always one of three things. The file is over the 20 MB free upload limit — Premium takes 50 MB and Pro 120 MB. The format is not one this tool accepts, so check the list shown on the upload panel. Or the file is not really the format its name says: renaming a file does not change what is inside it, and that is the reason a valid-looking PDF gets refused.

A PDF stores where every character sits on the page, not the paragraphs and styles a word processor works in, so converting means rebuilding that structure by inference. Complex columns, tables and text wrapped around images are where it drifts. If the appearance matters more than editability, choose the visual mode; if you need to type into it, choose the editable mode and expect to fix the odd heading.

PDF to CSV supports free standard use within the published processing allowances. Free downloads are clean — no watermark. No signup is required for standard tool use. Photo effects and AI edits have a web-size limit on Free, with the original-resolution result available through Premium or one credit. Crop, resize, rotate, compress and convert stay full size. Premium supports batches of up to 60 files, with the applicable plan limits shown before processing.

No — PDF to CSV runs in the browser on desktop and phone. There is nothing to install, no trial to start, and no license to buy before you can see whether it does what you need. Try it on the file you are actually stuck with rather than a sample.

The converter did not find rows and columns it could read. Check that the PDF contains a real table with readable text and clear boundaries rather than a list of lines, and that the page is not blank or very low in resolution. For a photo or screenshot of a table, use Image to CSV.

Choose CSV for plain data you will import into a database, script or accounting system, and choose Excel when people will read and calculate in the file. A CSV is plain text with no formatting, formulas or separate sheets, while a workbook is meant to be opened and used directly.

Yes, but scanned pages are read with text recognition, so check every number before you import the file. A straight, sharp, well-lit scan gives the cleanest rows, and you can fix cells in the grid before saving.

The converter reads the whole PDF and has no page range option. Save the pages you need as their own file with Split PDF, then convert that file.
