PDF to Excel — free, no watermark, no sign-up
Pull the tables out of a PDF into a spreadsheet you can calculate with. Columns are rebuilt from text positions shared across rows, not by splitting on spaces — so an empty cell does not shift the rest of the row. One sheet per page. Scans work too: we ask first, then run text recognition in your browser and rebuild the columns by the same rules.
What comes across, and what does not
Comes across
- Tabular data rebuilt from column positions
- Empty cells (without shifting the row)
- One sheet per page, preserving page boundaries
- Column widths estimated from content
- Tables on scanned pages (after you agree to run recognition)
Does not come across
- Merged-cell structure
- Borders, fills and other cell formatting
- Formulas (a PDF only holds the computed result)
- Handwriting, and scans that are badly skewed or blurred
How to use it
- 1

Common questions
- Do I need to sign up?
- No. Converting and downloading need no account. Signing in is only for saving the result to the cloud and continuing on another device.
- Is the result watermarked?
- No. Nothing is watermarked and there is no limit on how many times you convert.
- Is my file uploaded to your servers?
- No. The whole conversion happens in your browser. Open DevTools (F12) and watch the Network tab to check. The one thing that uses the network is the text-recognition engine for scans, downloaded once and only if you agree.
- How big a file can I convert?
- There is no limit. We no longer measure your file up front — that number was ours, not any device’s real ceiling. We just start; if this device genuinely cannot fit it, the browser says so and we pass on the reason, a way forward, and an event ID.
- Does it work on a phone?
- Yes, with the same features as on a computer. Very large files will simply take longer.
- Will you start charging later?
- It is free and unlimited today. We avoid absolute promises nobody can back, and there is no hidden sign-up wall or usage cap either.
- Why did one page come out as a single column?
- That page had no reliable column structure — running prose, for example. We deliberately do not force a split: chopping a sentence into ten columns is worse than giving you one.
- Are numbers imported as text?
- Yes. In a PDF a number is just glyphs, and we do not guess which ones are meant to be numeric. Select the column in the editor and use Text-to-columns, or multiply by 1.
- Do columns still line up on a scanned table?
- Column rebuilding works from text positions, and recognition gives every word a bounding box — so the rules are identical. The recognition itself can misread, though, so a scanned table is worth checking line by line, numbers and decimal points especially.
