Tables with lines
Reports and invoices with a visible grid convert best: each cell in the PDF becomes an Excel cell.

Stop copying numbers from a PDF by hand
Bank statements, price lists, sales reports, payrolls, grades: a lot of information arrives in tables inside a PDF. Copying and pasting almost never works, because everything lands in a single column or with the numbers jumbled. PDF to Excel detects the tables, respects their rows and columns and puts them into a spreadsheet.
Amounts are also stored as real numbers, not text: figures with thousands separators, currency signs or percentages are ready to use in formulas. Reference numbers, ZIP codes and codes with leading zeros are kept as they are.
Which PDFs work best
Tables without lines
We also detect tables aligned in columns even without borders, like many bank statements. In these cases it's worth checking that no columns were merged.
Running text
Paragraphs aren't converted, because they aren't tables. If you need the text, use PDF to Word.
Scans
A scanned PDF is an image and contains no text, so it can't be turned into cells. We'll let you know if that's the case.
How to convert PDF to Excel step by step
Upload your PDF
If you only care about some pages, extract them first with Extract pages to get a cleaner Excel file.
Choose how to organize it
"One sheet per page" creates a tab for each page with tables. "All in one sheet" puts all the tables one after another, ideal for joining a multi-page report.
Download and check
You'll see how many tables were found. Open the file and compare a few totals with the original PDF.
Tips for working with the data
Join tables from several pages. With the "All in one sheet" option, each page's header row repeats; filter by that row and delete it to get one continuous table.
Check the totals. Use the SUM function on a column and compare it with the PDF's total. If it matches, the conversion is correct.
Turn it into an Excel table. Select the data and press Ctrl + T so you can sort and filter easily.
Common problems and how to fix them
It says no tables were found
The PDF has no recognizable rows and columns, or the information is in running text. Try PDF to Word.
Two columns ended up in one
This happens in tables without lines when the columns are very close together. In Excel use Data → Text to Columns to separate them.
Some numbers ended up as text
We only convert unambiguous figures to numbers. If any ended up as text (for example, with commas as decimals), select the column and use Data → Text to Columns → Finish.
It says the PDF is a scan
Scans contain no text, only images. These cases need text recognition (OCR), a feature we don't offer yet.
What happens to your documents
Your PDF is sent to our server only to extract the tables. The original PDF is deleted as soon as the Excel file is ready, and the result is available through a private link that's deleted automatically shortly after. We don't look at your data or share it with third parties.
Frequently asked questions about PDF to Excel
Does it work with bank statements?
Yes, as long as the statement is a digital PDF (downloaded from online banking) and not a scan. Before sharing it with anyone, consider hiding sensitive data with Redact PDF.
Are colors and formatting kept?
The data is extracted, not the design. The first row of each table is marked as a header and the columns fit their content.
Can I open it in Google Sheets?
Yes. The file is standard XLSX: open it in Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers or LibreOffice Calc.
Is there a page limit?
Up to 200 pages and 50 MB per file.
Does it cost anything?
No. It's free with no sign-up. The site is supported by ads.
