PDF to Excel — Free, No Sign-Up
Choose one PDF file and press Convert to Excel. Each line of text becomes a row in the spreadsheet.
Honest note: this tool makes text-based rows — each line of text becomes a row, and columns are guessed from the gaps. It is not a perfect table reconstruction; check the result in Excel and tidy the columns if needed.
How to use PDF to Excel
Choose your PDF
Click the box above or drop one PDF file onto it. Any PDF with real, selectable text works — price lists, reports, invoices.
Pick how cells are split
“Auto-detect columns” splits each line into cells where the gaps are wide; “One cell per line” keeps each line whole.
Download your spreadsheet
Press “Convert to Excel”. Your .xlsx file downloads instantly — open it in Excel, Google Sheets or LibreOffice and tidy the columns.
Example: Example: a price list PDF with “Apples 1.20 120” on one line becomes a spreadsheet row with three cells — Apples, 1.20 and 120 — ready to sort and total.
About PDF to Excel
Data locked inside a PDF — a price list, an invoice, a report — is hard to work with: you cannot sort it, total it or chart it. PDFTools converts your PDF to Excel right in your browser: the text is pulled out line by line and rebuilt as a real .xlsx spreadsheet you can open in Excel, Google Sheets or LibreOffice. It is free, with no account and no sign-up.
One honest limit: the result is text-based rows, not a perfect table reconstruction. Columns are guessed from the gaps between words, so a neat PDF table usually comes out neatly — but a messy one may need a minute of tidying in Excel. A scanned (image-only) PDF has no text to convert, and the tool will tell you that plainly. There is no upload, so your document never leaves your device.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert PDF to Excel?
Choose your PDF, pick how cells are split, and press “Convert to Excel”. Your .xlsx file downloads immediately.
Will my PDF tables come out perfectly?
Not always. The result is text-based rows: each line becomes a row, and columns are guessed from the gaps. Neat tables usually come out neatly — messy ones may need a minute of tidying in Excel.
What is the difference between the two cell modes?
“Auto-detect columns” splits each line into cells where the gaps are wide — best for tables. “One cell per line” keeps each whole line in one cell — best for plain text lists.
Is converting PDF to Excel free?
Yes. Converting PDF to Excel on PDFTools is 100% free. There is no paid plan, no page limit and no watermark.
Do my PDF files get uploaded?
No. The conversion happens entirely in your browser. Your files never leave your device and nothing is stored on any server.
Why did I get no rows from my PDF?
Your PDF is probably a scanned (image-only) PDF — it contains pictures of text, not real text. Conversion only works on PDFs with real, selectable text.
