How accurate is the table detection?
Well-formatted single-table pages with clear column spacing convert most reliably, including right-aligned numeric columns. Complex layouts, merged cells, or dense multi-table pages may require cleanup in Excel — review the output before relying on it. The tool works best with digitally-created PDFs containing clear table structures.
Can it convert scanned PDF documents?
Yes. When a PDF has no text layer, the tool reads it with built-in on-device OCR. Nothing is uploaded: the OCR engine and its language models are part of this site and run in your browser. It also works out which way up the pages are, so a table fed into the scanner sideways still converts. Because OCR can misread a digit, the tool then adds up each column and compares it against the TOTAL row printed on your document, and tells you if they disagree.
Can I convert a photo of a table instead of a PDF?
Yes. Drop a JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC image, or several at once, and each picture becomes a sheet. The tool reads them with the same on-device OCR it uses for scanned PDFs, works out which way up the picture is so a photo taken sideways still converts, and then checks each column against the TOTAL row printed on the page. A flat, evenly lit, straight-on photo converts best.
Is my data uploaded to a server?
No! All processing happens in your browser using JavaScript. Your PDF never leaves your device. This makes it safe for confidential financial documents, private data, and sensitive information.
What Excel features are supported?
The tool supports: bold header formatting, auto-sized columns based on content, frozen header rows, multi-sheet workbooks (one sheet per PDF page), and standard .xlsx format compatible with Excel, Google Sheets, and LibreOffice.
Can I convert multiple pages at once?
Yes! Enable "Create separate sheet for each page" to convert multi-page PDFs. Each page becomes a separate worksheet in the Excel file, making it easy to navigate between different tables or data sections.
