Upload your PDF via drag & drop or file picker and download it as a CSV file ready for Excel.
This tool takes information from PDF files and puts it into a format that Excel can work with. Many times, you might have data in a PDF—like a report, an invoice, or a table—that you want to edit, analyze, or work with in Excel. PDFs are great for viewing and sharing, but they're not designed for editing or calculations. This converter helps bridge that gap by extracting the text and numbers so you can use them in spreadsheets. It's particularly handy when you receive data as a PDF but need to work with it as numbers you can sort, filter, or calculate.
People use this conversion in several common situations. If you receive financial statements or reports as PDFs but need to analyze the numbers in Excel, this tool helps. When you have lists of data in PDF format—product catalogs, contact lists, inventory sheets—and want to sort or filter that information, converting to Excel makes it possible. Researchers sometimes need to get data from published PDF tables into spreadsheets for analysis. Small businesses converting paper invoices to digital records often find this useful. The key is when you have structured information in a PDF that would be more useful as editable data in a spreadsheet.
The tool reads through your PDF looking for text and numbers, then organizes that information into rows and columns similar to how it appears in the PDF. It tries to recognize patterns—like items that line up vertically or horizontally—and recreates that structure in a spreadsheet format. For simple lists and tables, this works quite well. For more complex PDFs with multiple columns, merged cells, or unusual layouts, the tool does its best to create a usable Excel file, though you might need to do some cleanup afterward. The output is usually a CSV file (comma-separated values) that opens easily in Excel, where you can then save it as a proper Excel workbook.
Simple, clearly structured PDFs convert best. If your PDF has clean tables with clear borders and consistent spacing, the converter can usually recreate those accurately in Excel. Lists with one item per line also convert well. PDFs created directly from Word or Excel files tend to convert better than scanned documents. On the other hand, PDFs that are mostly images (like scanned pages without selectable text) won't convert properly unless they've been processed with OCR software first. Very complex layouts with multiple columns, text wrapping around images, or non-standard table structures might not convert perfectly and could require some manual adjustment in Excel afterward.
The conversion happens right in your web browser, which means your PDF never gets uploaded to the internet. When you select a file, your browser loads it and processes it locally on your computer or phone. This is important for keeping sensitive documents private—whether they're financial records, business information, or personal documents. Since everything happens on your device, you don't need to worry about your files being stored on someone else's server or transmitted over the internet. Once you close the browser tab, all the temporary data from the conversion is cleared automatically.
