One page becomes one sheet. Column widths, row heights, merged cells, borders, cell colours, font size and bold text and images are placed as in the original, and the page margin is kept as an empty first column and row. Numbers look exactly as they do in the PDF. Fonts embedded in the PDF and text colour are not carried over. Files are processed in your browser.
How to use
Extracts the text and tables of a PDF into an Excel file (.xlsx). Each page becomes a sheet, with column widths, row heights, merged cells, borders, fills, font sizes, bold text and images placed where they were. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
When to use it
- Recalculating the figures on a statement you only have as a PDF.
- Sorting or summing a table that arrived in PDF form.
- Splitting the tables of a long report into one sheet per page.
How to use it
- Choose a PDF. Up to 200 pages and 50MB.
- The pages are read in order; the preview shows what is being taken.
- Press Save as Excel to download an .xlsx with one sheet per page.
Good to know
- Scanned PDFs cannot be converted — they contain pictures, not text, and reading words out of an image (OCR) is not part of this tool.
- Numbers are written exactly as they appear, keeping thousand separators and decimal places as in the original.
- Fonts and text colours are not carried over. A font embedded in a PDF often cannot be used by Excel, and guessing a lookalike shifts the layout, so the default font is used.
- Page margins are kept as leading empty columns and rows so the original arrangement is still visible.
- Password-protected PDFs cannot be opened.
Frequently asked questions
Do tables land neatly in cells?
A PDF never says "this is a table"; it only stores where characters sit, so the grid is reconstructed from positions. Ruled tables come out well; tables aligned with spaces alone can shift. Check the result once after saving.
Do formulas come back?
No. A PDF holds the results as text, not the formulas behind them. Re-enter any sums you need in Excel.
Numbers arrive as text.
That keeps the original notation intact — turning 1,234 into 1234 changes how it reads, and a value like 0012 would lose its leading zeros. Convert the column to numbers in Excel when you need to calculate.
The fonts and colours look different.
Size and weight are carried over, but font names and text colours are not. Substituting a similar font would also change where lines break, which distorts the layout further.
Can I get Word or PowerPoint instead?
Yes — PDF to Word and PDF to PPT use the same engine. Choose Excel for tables, Word for document structure, PPT when the on-screen arrangement matters most.
