Frequently Asked Questions
Is this PDF to Excel converter really free?
Yes — completely free forever. No registration, no credit card, no watermarks, no page limits. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using PDF.js and SheetJS, two open-source libraries. Your PDF is never sent to any server.
Will it work with scanned PDFs?
This tool works with text-based PDFs (those with selectable text). For scanned PDFs where content is saved as images, text cannot be extracted directly — you would need an OCR tool first. Most PDFs from Office, accounting software, bank statements and reports are text-based.
How does the table detection work?
The converter analyses the X and Y coordinates of every text element on each PDF page. Items at similar Y positions form a row; items at similar X positions form a column. This column-detection algorithm reconstructs table structures from the raw PDF text stream without needing any external service.
What Excel format does it produce?
The output is .xlsx (Excel 2007+), compatible with Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc, Apple Numbers and all modern spreadsheet applications. You can also re-save as .csv or .xls from within Excel if needed.
Is there a file size limit?
No server-side limit because your file never leaves your browser. The practical limit depends on your device's available RAM. For typical business PDFs — invoices, reports, bank statements — the tool handles files of any reasonable size seamlessly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is my PDF file safe and private?
Yes — completely. Your PDF is processed entirely inside your browser using PDF.js, an open-source Mozilla library. The file is never uploaded to any server. No data leaves your device at any point during the conversion. This is a fully client-side tool.
What types of PDF work best?
Native/digital PDFs with embedded text — such as reports, invoices, bank statements, financial statements, government data exports and spreadsheets saved as PDF — produce the best results. Scanned PDFs are image-based and contain no embedded text, so they cannot be parsed directly (an OCR tool is required for those).
How does table detection work without borders?
PDF.js extracts each text item with its X and Y pixel coordinates on the page. The algorithm groups text items sharing approximately the same Y position into rows (with a 4px tolerance), then sorts each row left-to-right by X coordinate. Column buckets are identified by clustering similar X positions across rows (18px tolerance). This reconstructs tabular structure without requiring visible grid lines.
Can I convert a multi-page PDF to Excel?
Yes. Multi-page PDFs are fully supported. By default, each page is placed on a separate sheet tab in the Excel workbook — so Page 1 becomes Sheet "Page 1", Page 2 becomes "Page 2", etc. You can also choose "All Data in One Sheet" to combine everything into a single sheet.
What output formats are available?
Three formats: XLSX (Excel 2007+, recommended — supports multiple sheets, large data, modern Excel), XLS (Excel 97-2003 legacy format for older software), and CSV (comma-separated values for maximum compatibility with any spreadsheet or database application). XLSX is recommended for most use cases.
