How to Convert PDF to Excel – Step by Step
Learn how to extract PDF data into Excel spreadsheets online for free.
Extract tabular data from PDFs into a usable Excel spreadsheet. The PDF to Excel tool converts PDF text into .xlsx format, making it easy to analyze, chart, or process the data.

Upload your PDF containing tables or structured data.
Click Convert to Excel and the tool extracts text into rows and columns.
Download the .xlsx file and open it in Excel, Google Sheets, or any spreadsheet app.
Tips for Best Results
- This tool extracts text content — it doesn't recognize table structures perfectly.
- For documents with clear tabular layouts, the conversion works well with minimal cleanup.
- Scanned PDFs need optical character recognition (OCR) — this tool works on text-based PDFs.
