PDF to Excel Converter

This free online PDF to Excel converter reconstructs tabular data from a PDF into a real, editable spreadsheet — proper rows and columns you can sort, filter, sum and reformat in Excel, Google Sheets or LibreOffice Calc, not a wall of text pasted into cell A1. It's built for the exact documents that make "copy from a PDF" so frustrating: invoices, price lists, financial statements, exported reports and data tables, where the numbers matter and losing the column structure means starting over by hand.

Rather than guessing, the tool measures the actual horizontal position of every piece of text on the page and works out where the real column boundaries are — clustering text that lines up vertically across rows into the same column, and treating a wide horizontal gap between words as a column break rather than ordinary word spacing. That's a materially different approach from a basic text extractor, which would flatten a neat three-column table into one run-on line the moment you tried to open it in a spreadsheet.

Every page of the source PDF becomes its own sheet in the output workbook, so a multi-page report keeps its per-page structure instead of getting merged into one unmanageable block, and a live, scrollable table preview shows exactly how each page was interpreted — rows, columns and all — before you download anything. Rows and detected-column counts are shown up front too, so a quick glance tells you whether a page converted cleanly.

Everything runs locally in your browser: PDF.js reads the document's text positions and ExcelJS builds a genuine .xlsx workbook, so nothing is ever uploaded to a server. It's worth setting expectations honestly — column detection is a spacing-based heuristic, the same fundamental approach every "PDF to Excel" tool relies on, so it performs best on PDFs with genuine tabular layouts and clear column gaps, and a page of plain flowing prose will simply come back as one column of text per line rather than an artificially invented table.
