Frequently asked questions

Is PDF to Excel free to use?

Yes. PDF to Excel is completely free with no limits, no sign-up, and no watermarks. Convert as many PDFs as you need.

Will it work on a scanned PDF?

It works best on PDFs that contain real, selectable text. If your PDF is a scan or photo, run it through our PDF OCR tool first to make the text recognisable, then convert it here.

How are columns detected?

The tool reads the visual layout of each page and treats runs of whitespace as column breaks, so neatly aligned tables convert cleanly. Very complex or merged-cell layouts may need a quick tidy-up in Excel afterwards.

Is my data safe?

Yes. Your PDF is processed securely on the server and removed automatically after conversion. We never share or store your documents.
