Convert PDF tables into editable spreadsheet data
PDF files are designed to preserve the appearance of a document, while Excel spreadsheets are designed for working with rows, columns and calculations. Converting a PDF to Excel can make information easier to sort, filter, analyse and update.
This free PDF to Excel converter extracts selectable text and can recognise scanned pages with English OCR, all in your browser. You can choose which pages to process, preview the extracted content and export the result as an Excel workbook or CSV file.
What you should know before converting
- Text-based PDFs: PDFs containing selectable text generally produce the best results.
- Scanned documents: Image-only pages are recognised with built-in English OCR in your browser when the OCR option is enabled. Results may need proofreading, especially on low-quality scans.
- Complex tables: Multi-column layouts, merged cells, rotated text and irregular spacing may need manual spreadsheet cleanup.
- Privacy: PDF processing takes place in your browser. The file is not sent to our server by this tool.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert a PDF to Excel for free?
Choose your PDF file, select the pages you want to convert, and click Convert to Excel. When processing finishes, download the XLSX workbook.
Can I convert multiple pages into Excel?
Yes. You can process all pages or enter a page range. Choose separate worksheets for each page or combine the extracted rows into one worksheet.
Can I convert a scanned PDF?
Yes. Keep “Use OCR automatically on scanned pages” enabled. Pages without selectable text are rendered and recognised in your browser, then included in the Excel workbook. OCR accuracy depends on scan quality and language.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. The converter processes the selected PDF in your browser. The file is not uploaded to Ccodelearner by this tool.
Will the Excel file look exactly like the PDF?
No. The converter extracts text into spreadsheet rows rather than reproducing the original page design. Complex tables and merged cells may require manual adjustment.
What file formats can I download?
You can download an Excel workbook in XLSX format or export the extracted rows as a CSV file.
