PDF to Excel: extract tables into a spreadsheet (.xlsx)

Statements, reports and lists in PDF are hard to analyze because the numbers are stuck to the page. Converting to Excel extracts text and tables into an .xlsx spreadsheet, where you can sum, filter and create charts.

Extraction is done on a best-effort basis with the pdfplumber library, and works best on PDFs that contain real tables, with well-defined rows and columns.

Frequently asked questions

Are all tables in the PDF recognized?

Extraction is best-effort. PDFs with well-structured tables give good results; irregular layouts may need manual adjustments.

Can I convert a scanned PDF?

First apply OCR with PDF to OCR. Without recognizable text, there is no data to extract.

Do numbers come formatted as numbers?

The spreadsheet contains the extracted content. You may need to adjust cell formats, such as currency and date, in Excel itself.

What are the limits of the free plan?

The free plan allows 10 conversions per day, with files up to 60 MB and no sign-up required. The Premium plan removes the daily limit and the ads.
