PDF to Excel

Pull tables out of PDFs into clean, editable Excel spreadsheets.

Coming soon

We're polishing this tool — read on to learn what it'll do, or try one of our working tools above.

PDF to Excel is for analysts, accountants and researchers who keep getting tabular data trapped inside PDFs. Converterzilla's converter will detect tables on every page and extract them into structured .xlsx sheets — one sheet per page, or a combined sheet — without you copy-pasting cells.

How PDF to Excel will work once it ships

This tool isn't live yet — the steps below describe the planned experience, not something you can do today.

  1. Drop your PDF. Upload a PDF with one or more tables. Both digital and scanned PDFs are supported via OCR.
  2. Choose extraction mode. One sheet per page, one combined sheet, or auto-detect (groups related tables across pages).
  3. Download the spreadsheet. Open the resulting .xlsx in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets — ready to filter, sort and analyze.

What PDF to Excel will offer

Table-aware extraction

We detect cell boundaries from layout, not just text. Numbers go in number cells, not text cells.

Multi-table per page

Pages with several tables get cleanly split — no merging unrelated data into one mess.

OCR for scans

Image-only PDFs get OCR'd before extraction so scanned reports become editable spreadsheets.

Questions we expect about PDF to Excel

Yes. Numeric columns are typed as numbers, dates as dates, and text as text — Excel's filters and formulas just work.

Merged cells in the source map to merged cells in Excel. The structure is preserved.

Best-effort. Our OCR handles printed text well; handwriting accuracy depends on neatness.

Stop copy-pasting cell by cell. Real table extraction reads structure from the PDF directly.
