How it works
How to convert a PDF to Excel
- Step 01
Drop your PDF
Drag a PDF onto the converter or choose one from your computer. Nothing is uploaded.
- Step 02
Check the preview
Every table we find is shown with its rows and columns, so you can see exactly what you'll get.
- Step 03
Download the .xlsx
One sheet per table, a bold frozen header row, and every amount stored as a number Excel can sum.
Under the hood
Numbers that stay numbers
Amounts copied out of a PDF usually land in Excel as text, so SUM returns zero and you spend the afternoon fixing cells. This converter recognises amounts the way documents print them — 1,234.56, 1.234,56 €, (300.00) and 583.47- — and stores them as real numbers with their formatting kept.
Dates, IDs with leading zeros and long account numbers stay as text, so nothing gets rounded or reformatted. Each table gets its own sheet, sized to its content, with the header row frozen.
- Private by design. Your PDF is read in your browser, never on a server.
- Whole documents. Up to 300 pages and 100 MB per file.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Yes — no sign-up, no watermark, no daily limit. Files can be up to 100 MB and 300 pages.
No. The converter runs in your browser: your PDF is read and converted on your own device and never sent to our servers or anyone else's. You can check it in your browser's network tab — no request carries your file.
Yes. Amounts are stored as numbers, not text, including negative amounts written in parentheses or with a trailing minus. Both 1,234.56 and 1.234,56 are understood: the converter works out which style each table uses.
Yes. It's a standard .xlsx file, so it opens in Excel, Apple Numbers, Google Sheets and LibreOffice.
Your PDF is a scan or a photo: the page is a picture, so there is no text to read, only pixels. Converting it needs OCR (text recognition). The free converter doesn't do OCR; the ParseFlow Mac app does, entirely on your Mac.
Yes. If the PDF has an open password, you'll be asked for it. The password is only used inside your browser to unlock the file and is never stored or sent anywhere.
