PDF to Excel

Keep PDF pages as worksheet images, or group embedded text into editable worksheet rows.

Convert a PDF into an Excel workbook as a rendered page image on each worksheet, or group embedded PDF text into editable rows. Visual mode works on scans but its contents are not editable. Editable mode infers rows from text coordinates and works best on simple tables; it does not reconstruct merged cells, formulas, styling, or complex table structure. Both modes run entirely in your browser.

Runs in your browser // nothing is uploaded

Runs on your device. This tool processes your file inside this browser tab. Nothing is uploaded, so it also works offline once the page has loaded, and closing the tab discards the file from memory.

Common questions

Does it preserve the PDF layout?

Visual mode embeds a rendered page image on each worksheet. It keeps the appearance but does not create editable cells.

Can I edit the table data?

Choose Editable tables. Text is placed into cells by page position, which works best for simple tabular PDFs.

Does it upload my PDF?

No. Rendering and spreadsheet generation happen locally.

Which mode should I use for a scanned invoice?

Visual mode, since scanned pages have no extractable text for editable mode to detect.
