📄 PDF to Excel Converter

Converting PDF to Excel is easy with our free online tool:

• Drag and drop your PDF file onto the converter (or click to browse)
• Optionally select specific pages or output format
• Click "Convert to Excel"
• Download your XLSX or CSV file

It's completely free with no registration, email, or software installation required.

Yes! Our PDF to Excel converter works entirely in your web browser. There's no software to download or install. Simply visit pdftoxls.org, upload your PDF, and convert it instantly. Works on any device with a modern browser.

OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is technology that reads text from images or scanned documents.

You need OCR if your PDF is a scanned document (essentially images of paper). Our tool works best with text-based PDFs (where you can select text). For scanned PDFs, we recommend using Adobe Acrobat or dedicated OCR tools first.

Yes, our converter handles large PDF files up to 50MB. For very large documents:

• Use the page range option to convert specific pages (e.g., "1-100")
• Processing time may be longer for large files
• All processing happens in your browser, so a modern device is recommended

Our converter uses smart table detection to preserve the structure of your data. For best results:

• Keep "Smart table detection" enabled
• Use text-based PDFs (not scanned images)
• PDFs with clear table structures convert best

Note: Complex layouts, merged cells, or decorative formatting may not transfer perfectly, as Excel has different formatting capabilities than PDF.

Yes, our converter is 100% safe and private.

Unlike many online converters, your files are processed entirely in your browser. Your PDF files are never uploaded to any server. The conversion happens locally on your device, making it completely private and secure.

XLSX is the modern Excel format (Excel 2007 and later). It's smaller, more reliable, and supports more features.

XLS is the older format (Excel 97-2003). We recommend XLSX for most uses.

Our converter outputs XLSX by default, which opens in all modern spreadsheet applications including Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, and LibreOffice Calc.

Yes! Our batch conversion feature lets you:

• Select multiple PDF files at once
• Drag and drop multiple files together
• Convert all files in one click
• Download individual files or all as a combined workbook

Bank statement PDFs are one of the most common use cases:

• Download your bank statement PDF from your bank's website
• Upload it to our converter
• The tool will extract transaction tables automatically
• Download as Excel for easy accounting, categorization, or import into financial software

Tip: Most bank-generated PDFs are text-based and convert very well.
