Preview the extracted workbook and download the standard .xlsx export without signup. The signed-in free plan includes one extraction a day; Premium removes that daily cap.
pricingUpload the PDF, the tool scans every page for tables, and each detected table is exported into its own sheet inside a single .xlsx workbook. Frozen header rows, auto column widths and numeric/date typing are applied automatically so SUM, AVERAGE and pivot tables work without any pre-cleanup.
usageYes. The first row is frozen, columns auto-size to their longest content, numeric cells are typed as numbers (with currency symbols preserved as cell format), date columns get date typing, and percentage columns get percent format. The output is ready for charts, pivots and formulas the moment you open it.
featuresYes. When a table spans multiple PDF pages with the same header repeated, the tool stitches the pages back into one continuous Excel table — the duplicate headers are dropped and rows continue cleanly. That makes it ideal for long financial statements, annual reports and inventory ledgers.
featuresYes. Bank statements, brokerage activity reports, credit-card monthly statements, expense reports and supplier invoices all work — each table becomes a clean spreadsheet. Currency symbols are preserved per cell, dates are parsed into the locale your spreadsheet app expects, and totals rows are flagged with bold formatting where detected.
usageYes. Image-only PDFs from old scanners, photo captures of printed reports, and fax-back forms all run through OCR first so the .xlsx output is editable text, not pictures. Multi-language OCR is supported (English, Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, Hindi and more) for international financial documents.
featuresUploads are processed in temporary memory and removed under our Security policy — unless you explicitly share a result, which keeps it at a public link anyone who has it can open for up to 30 days. We never use your files to train models, never share them, and never add watermarks. Accountants, bookkeepers, financial analysts and freelancers use the tool with confidence on sensitive client data.
privacyTables drawn without visible gridlines are detected from column spacing, so a wide column can occasionally be read as two, or two tight columns merged into one. It's a quick fix in Excel — drag the column boundary or use Text to Columns. Tables with clear ruled lines almost always come through cleanly.
tipsThis tool outputs a styled .xlsx workbook. If you want plain comma-separated values — for importing into a database, Google Sheets or a script — use the PDF to CSV tool instead, which extracts the same tables as a lightweight .csv file.
tipsYes — the detected table opens in an editable grid first, so you can fix any misread cell, insert a missing row with the + button, or remove an incorrect one before downloading. The workbook you download reflects your edits, complete with the frozen header row and auto-sized columns already applied.
featuresAmber flags any cell the OCR was 80% confident or less about, pointing you straight at the numbers most likely to need a second look — especially useful on financial statements where a misread digit matters. The highlight disappears the moment you edit that cell.
qualityYes — the Reset button discards every manual edit and restores the table exactly as it was first extracted, without needing to re-upload the PDF. That's useful if a correction pass introduces a new mistake and you'd rather start clean.
usageThe editable grid preview only shows up when the workbook resolves to a single sheet; once multiple tables or sheets are detected, the tool skips the inline review and hands you a straight 'ready to download' card instead, since there's no single sheet to preview. Open the downloaded .xlsx in Excel or Google Sheets to check each tab, or split the source PDF's pages with PDF Split first if you want the verify-grid step for one table at a time.
featuresConvert, review and download the extracted table for free without signup. Free accounts have a daily extraction allowance because table extraction uses OCR; Premium removes that daily cap.
pricingScan the extracted rows for the classic OCR slips — a quantity merged with a price, a decimal dropped from a total, a stray footer line read in as data — before trusting the numbers. Use Add row to restore any invoice line the detector missed, Delete row to remove junk rows, and Reset if you want to back out a correction pass entirely. Only download once the grid matches the invoice, so the frozen-header, auto-width .xlsx you import is already clean.
tipsYes — extract and preview PDF tables free, then download the standard unbranded spreadsheet without signup. The signed-in free allowance covers everyday conversions, and files are processed securely and removed after temporary retention.
pricingNo — you can export PDF to Excel entirely in your browser with nothing to install and no Acrobat subscription. The table extraction engine detects the rows and columns in your PDF and writes them into an .xlsx with bold headers, frozen panes and auto-width columns, ready to open in Excel or Google Sheets.
technicalCopy-pasting a table from a PDF usually dumps everything into one column because PDFs store text, not cell structure. Instead, upload the PDF here: the converter detects the table grid, keeps every row and column in place, and writes a clean .xlsx — or a CSV if you prefer — that you can open or import directly into Excel.
tipsYes — 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.
featuresYes — 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.
usageAlmost always one of three things. The file is over the 11 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.
troubleshootingA 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.
troubleshootingNo. You can run PDF to Excel and download the free result without an account, and it carries no watermark. Premium is what you buy when the limits start to bite: up to 60 files in one batch, larger uploads, no daily cap, and the original-resolution result. Nothing is revealed at the download step that was not visible before you started.
pricingNo — PDF to Excel 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.
