PDF to Excel

Extract tables and text from a PDF into an editable .xlsx file using PDF.js + SheetJS. Local.

How to use this tool

Drop a PDF.
Click Convert to Excel.
Download the .xlsx file.
Open in Excel.

How it works

PDF.js extracts text with positions; lines that align into columns become spreadsheet rows via SheetJS, which writes the workbook.

Tips

Simple single-column layouts convert most reliably.
Check merged headers after conversion.

Limitations

OCR isn't included; complex layouts convert approximately.

Frequently asked questions

Will my tables convert cleanly?

Tables that are simple grids convert well; complex merged cells may need cleanup.

What about scanned PDFs?

Only embedded text is extracted. Scans need OCR (not provided here).

Is my data safe?

Yes — conversion happens locally; nothing is uploaded.
