About This Tool
PDF to Excel converts your PDF documents into editable Microsoft Excel spreadsheets (XLSX). The tool automatically detects tables in your PDF and extracts them into separate sheets.
This tool is ideal for analyzing financial reports, invoices, or any data presented in tables. Each page's tables are organized into sheets for easy data manipulation.
All conversion happens locally in your browser, ensuring your data remains private and secure.
The best results come from PDFs that were generated by software, such as exported bank statements or accounting reports, because their tables contain real text. Scanned tables need OCR PDF first. After converting, check merged header cells, number formats, and negative values in parentheses, then use Excel's Text to Columns or find and replace to clean up anything that landed in the wrong column. Converting only the pages with tables keeps the workbook tidy.
Spreadsheets pulled from PDFs are usually financial: statements, payroll summaries, invoices, sales figures. That data is a poor fit for a third-party upload. TokPDF detects and extracts tables locally in your browser with WebAssembly, so the numbers never leave your machine. You avoid retyping figures by hand and avoid a privacy trade-off, on whatever computer you happen to be using.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are tables handled?
Tables detected on each page are extracted to corresponding sheets in the Excel file.
What if there are no tables?
An info sheet will be created indicating no tables were found.
Is formatting preserved?
Data is preserved, but complex visual formatting may be simplified for spreadsheet use.
How do I convert a bank statement PDF to Excel?
Download the statement as a PDF from your bank, load it into PDF to Excel, and convert. Each detected table is placed in a sheet you can sort and filter. Check dates and amounts against the original, since statement layouts vary between banks.
Will the numbers be usable for formulas?
Values are extracted as cell content you can work with. Depending on the source, some numbers may come through as text, especially with currency symbols or thousands separators. Excel's number format options or a quick find and replace usually fix this.
Can I open the converted file in Google Sheets?
Yes. The output is a standard XLSX file, which you can upload to Google Sheets, open in Numbers on a Mac, or use in LibreOffice Calc. Formatting may vary slightly between apps, but the cell data stays the same.
Why are some rows split or merged incorrectly?
Table detection relies on the spacing and lines in the PDF. Tables without clear borders, cells that wrap onto several lines, or columns that sit very close together can be misread. Reviewing and adjusting these rows in Excel is usually quick.
