PDF to Excel Converter

Upload your PDF file and select "Table Focus" mode for optimal table extraction. Our converter automatically detects table structures and converts them to properly formatted Excel rows and columns. For best results, ensure your PDF contains clearly defined tables with visible borders.

CSV (Comma-Separated Values) offers the best compatibility across all spreadsheet applications and is our recommended format. XLSX is the modern Excel format (Excel 2007+) with advanced features but may have compatibility issues. XLS is the legacy format for older Excel versions. CSV files open reliably in Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc, and virtually any spreadsheet application.

Yes! You can convert up to 20 PDF files simultaneously in a single batch. Each file can be up to 100MB in size. All converted Excel files can be downloaded individually or as a single ZIP archive for convenience.

PDF files typically contain calculated values rather than formulas. Our converter extracts the visible numerical data and text content. If you need to recreate formulas, you'll need to add them manually in Excel after conversion. The converted spreadsheet will contain all the data values for analysis and manipulation.

Absolutely! All PDF to Excel conversion happens entirely in your browser using client-side processing. Your files never leave your device or get uploaded to any servers. This ensures complete privacy and security of your sensitive business data, financial information, or personal documents.

PDF and Excel are fundamentally different formats. PDFs are designed for fixed visual layouts, while Excel is designed for data manipulation. Some formatting differences are normal, especially with complex layouts. The converter focuses on preserving data content and basic structure rather than exact visual appearance.

Our converter works best with text-based PDFs that contain selectable text and tables. For scanned PDFs or image-based documents, the converter may not be able to extract data effectively. For optimal results with scanned documents, consider using OCR software to convert the scanned content to text before using our converter.

Conversion time depends on file size and complexity. Simple PDFs with tables convert in 10-30 seconds, while complex documents with multiple pages may take 1-3 minutes. Since all processing happens in your browser, conversion speed also depends on your device's processing power.

Yes! The converted Excel file is fully editable. You can modify data, add formulas, create charts, format cells, and use all Excel features. The file opens in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc, and other compatible spreadsheet applications.

Charts and graphs in PDFs are typically converted to their underlying data values when possible. Visual elements like chart images may not be preserved, but the numerical data can often be extracted. You can then recreate charts and graphs in Excel using the converted data.
