How to Convert PDF Tables to Excel
You mark the tables you want, the tool does the extraction. pdf.js reads the text layer, Tesseract.js handles scanned pages, and SheetJS writes the .xlsx — every step runs in your browser.
Upload Your PDF
Drop a PDF (or an image — JPG / PNG) into the upload area. The file stays in your browser — nothing is sent anywhere.
Draw or Auto-Detect
Draw a rectangle around each table you want, or click Auto-detect for a first pass — then tweak, resize, or delete the suggestions.
Extract + Review
Each rectangle becomes a table, shown side-by-side with a cropped screenshot of the source. Click any cell to edit, or rename the sheet.
Download Excel or CSV
Export all selected tables as a multi-sheet .xlsx workbook, or grab any single table as CSV.
Your PDFs Never Leave Your Device
Most online PDF-to-Excel tools upload your document to a server. We don't. Every step — text extraction, OCR, table detection, and Excel export — runs inside your browser tab.
pdf.js for text extraction
Reads the PDF’s native text layer with exact x/y positions — no server round-trip.
Tesseract.js for OCR
Scanned PDFs are recognised locally with the Tesseract OCR engine compiled to WebAssembly.
SheetJS for Excel export
Generates a real .xlsx workbook in memory, then triggers a browser download directly.
No account, no upload
Zero sign-in, zero tracking, zero bytes transmitted. Close the tab and your file is gone.
What Works Well (and What Doesn't)
Heuristic table detection is never perfect — the preview lets you fix anything before export, so mistakes are recoverable.
