About PDF to Excel

Upload any PDF and extract its tables and text into a clean, editable XLSX spreadsheet. The tool uses pdfjs-dist to extract text items with their x/y positions from every page, then applies a column-detection algorithm to reconstruct table rows and cells — giving you a workbook with one sheet per PDF page. Everything runs entirely in your browser using SheetJS: no files ever leave your device.
