How to convert PDF to Excel

  1. Step 1: Select or drop your PDF.

  2. Step 2: Choose one worksheet per page or everything in a single sheet.

  3. Step 3: Click Convert to Excel.

  4. Step 4: Download the .xlsx file and tidy up anything that needs it.

Stop retyping numbers

Bank statements, price lists and reports often arrive as PDFs, but you need the figures in a spreadsheet to total, compare or chart them. Converting saves you from copying values cell by cell.

Numbers are stored as real numbers, so formulas and sorting work right away.

How are tables rebuilt?

We extract the text of each page along with its position, then group it into rows and columns based on how it is aligned. Values that look like numbers are saved as numbers rather than text.

This works best with digital PDFs that have clear tables. Scanned PDFs contain no text, so run OCR PDF on them first. Merged cells, multi-line cells and complex layouts may need some tidying afterwards.

Frequently asked questions

Should I choose one sheet per page or a single sheet?

One sheet per page keeps each page separate, which suits reports with different tables. A single sheet stacks all pages together, which is handy for long tables that continue across pages.

Can I convert a scanned PDF?

Not directly, because a scan is an image with no text to extract. Run it through OCR PDF first, then convert the searchable result.

Why are some columns misaligned?

Columns are rebuilt from text positions, so merged cells, wrapped text or tables without clear alignment can land in the wrong column. A quick check in Excel usually fixes it.

What happens to my PDF?

It's deleted as soon as the spreadsheet is created. The .xlsx file stays available for 30 minutes and is then deleted automatically, unless you delete it sooner.
