Upload 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 deleted within minutes. 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.
featuresYou can use PDF to Excel without creating an account. Free signed-in accounts get a daily allowance of extractions and see a small usage meter once they're close to it, since table extraction runs OCR behind the scenes — Premium removes that cap entirely.
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.
