PDF to Excel
Convert PDF tables into an Excel workbook.
How to convert PDF to Excel
Choose a PDF, allow PixelFree to inspect the pages and text structure, then export the detected content into an XLSX workbook. The result is best treated as an editable starting point.
Tables work better than free-form layouts
PDF to Excel is most useful when the source has clear rows, columns and readable digital text. Brochures, magazines, irregular forms or pages with text scattered across the canvas may need manual cleanup after conversion.
Scanned PDFs and OCR
A scanned document contains page images instead of normal text objects. If a table is part of a scan, OCR may be needed first, and even then column boundaries may require correction.
Check numbers carefully
When the spreadsheet will be used for calculations, verify decimal separators, negative signs, dates, currency values and column alignment. OCR or extraction mistakes can be especially important in financial data.
When this tool helps
Use PDF to Excel for simple statements, schedules, tabular reports, price lists and data that needs to be sorted, filtered or edited after extraction.
Privacy
The conversion is designed around local browser processing where supported.
