PDF to Excel Converter — Convert PDF to Excel Free Online

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

Upload the PDF and the tool scans its pages for tables. The largest table opens in an editable grid, you fix any misread cell, and the download is an .xlsx with a single sheet in which every cell is stored as text. Set number or date formats in Excel before using SUM, AVERAGE or pivot tables.

No. The export is a plain single sheet: no frozen header row, no column styling, and every cell is stored as text exactly as it was read, including currency symbols, dates and percent signs. Apply number, date and percentage formats in Excel before building charts, pivots or formulas.

Each table is read per page, and the grid and the download hold the largest table found, not every table in the document. A table that continues onto the next page is not joined to its first part, so check the totals against the PDF and combine the parts yourself in Excel if you need the whole table.

Yes, within the limits of one table per export. Bank statements, brokerage activity reports, credit-card monthly statements, expense reports and supplier invoices all work — the largest table opens in the grid for review. Currency symbols and dates are kept exactly as printed, as text, so format them in Excel as needed.

Yes. 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. Check scanned tables carefully against the PDF, because OCR can misread characters.

Uploads 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 without automatic expiration while Pixoate provides the sharing service. 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.

Tables 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.

This tool outputs an .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 exports the same table as a lightweight .csv file.

Yes — 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 as a single plain sheet, with every cell stored as text.

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

Yes — 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.

No. The editable grid and the downloaded .xlsx hold the largest table only, on a single sheet. Split the source PDF's pages with PDF Split first and run each page range separately if you need the other tables.

Convert and review the extracted table on screen for free without signup, and copy it from the grid. Signed-in accounts get daily free Excel and CSV file exports; after that the exports come with Premium, or one credit, and free use is subject to fair use.

Scan 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 .xlsx you import is already clean.

Yes — extract and preview the PDF table on screen without signup. The .xlsx file is a document export, so use Premium or credits to download it. Files are processed securely and removed after temporary retention.

No — you can export PDF to Excel online with nothing to install and no Acrobat subscription. The table extraction engine detects the rows and columns in your PDF, shows the largest table in an editable grid, and writes it into a single-sheet .xlsx you can open in Excel or Google Sheets.

Copy-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.

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 Excel 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 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.

The workbook is saved as .xlsx, and there is no separate .xls option. Excel and other spreadsheet apps open .xlsx files. If a system still requires the older .xls format, open the workbook in Excel and save a copy in that format.

The workbook is written from the review grid as plain cell text, so amounts and dates arrive as text. Convert those columns to numbers or dates in Excel before you use formulas, and compare a few totals with the PDF afterward.

Excel can attach a PDF as an object, which may show only an icon or a preview of the first page rather than cells. This tool does something different: it converts the table in the PDF into cells you can sort, filter and total, and it does not embed the PDF itself in the workbook.

Table extraction has limits on how much one run can read, so a very long document or one with a great many tables can be refused even when its file size is small. Cut the PDF into shorter parts with Split PDF, convert each part, and combine the tables in Excel.

Uploading a PDF, converting it and reviewing the table on screen are free, and you can copy the cells from the grid. Saving the .xlsx file is a document export: signed-out visitors are asked to sign in, Premium or credits are required.

Yes, OCR PDF to Excel is built in: image-only areas are read with text recognition and the table appears in the review grid. Check every number against the page before you save the file, because a blurry or tilted scan can be misread. A straight, sharp scan gives the cleanest rows.

The grid holds one table, the largest one the converter finds. To get a different table, keep only the page that has it with Split PDF and convert that file, then repeat for each table you need.
