Who is it for?
It's for anyone who receives data as a PDF but needs to actually work with the numbers — accountants, analysts, students, small-business owners and researchers. Picture a monthly bank statement or a sales report that arrives locked inside a PDF: instead of retyping every row by hand, you convert it once and immediately start filtering, charting and totalling in Excel. The same trick turns price lists, invoices and survey results into spreadsheets you can sort and reuse.

How does PDF to Excel work?
PDF to Excel conversion extracts every table from a PDF into editable .xlsx cells. We detect table boundaries automatically, preserve row and column structure, and produce a spreadsheet you can sort, filter and use in formulas.
PDF7 automatically detects text-based tables and keeps the cell structure. No signup, no install, no watermark — all in your browser.
Once the table lands in Excel, every value sits in its own cell, so you can edit a figure, drag a column wider, add a SUM at the bottom or build a pivot — none of which is possible inside a flat PDF. How clean the result looks depends on the source: a PDF exported straight from accounting or database software converts almost perfectly, while a scanned page or a heavily styled report with merged headers may land slightly misaligned and take a minute to tidy. Knowing your PDF's origin helps you predict the outcome before you even click convert.

Frequently asked questions
How accurate is the table detection?
For PDFs with clear borders or consistent column spacing, accuracy is excellent. Complex multi-row headers or merged cells may need a quick manual cleanup.
Will my charts and images convert?
Tables are converted to cells. Charts and images are dropped — Excel needs source data, not a picture. Use PDF to Image if you need to keep the visual.
Is my data safe?
Yes. The file is processed in memory over HTTPS and deleted the moment your download completes. We never store or look at the content.
Is there a file size limit?
Up to 150 MB per file. For larger documents, split first using our PDF split tool, convert each part, then combine the Excel sheets.
What happens to tables that span several pages?
A table that continues across pages is detected on each page and stacked into one continuous sheet, so a 12-page report becomes a single scrollable list rather than 12 fragments. If a repeated header row reappears on every page, just delete the duplicate rows after downloading — a few seconds of cleanup.
Can I convert just one page or a single table?
The converter processes the whole PDF and writes each detected table to the sheet. If you only need one section, the fastest route is to split the PDF first with our PDF split tool, keep the page you want, then convert that — you get a focused .xlsx with nothing extra to delete.
