Each PDF becomes a separate Excel workbook; multiple outputs are packaged into one ZIP
Local acceleration
Checking WebGPU…
If WebGPU is unavailable, OCR falls back to CPU/WASM and large scans may take longer.
No file selected.
Best-effort table reconstruction. Digital text and OCR boxes are grouped by coordinates. Borderless layouts, merged cells and complex visual tables can require cleanup in Excel.
About this tool
PDF to Excel runs locally in the browser. It reads positioned PDF text and reconstructs spreadsheet rows and columns; scanned pages can be OCRed on-device with WebGPU acceleration when available and WASM CPU fallback otherwise.

Good to know
No. Borderless, merged-cell and visually complex tables are reconstructed heuristically, so some workbooks may need manual cleanup.
Frequently asked questions
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. The PDF and OCR processing stay in your browser.
Does it work with scanned PDFs?
Yes. Scanned pages use local OCR. WebGPU is attempted first and the tool falls back to CPU/WASM when necessary.
Will every complex PDF table convert perfectly?
No. Borderless, merged-cell and visually complex tables are reconstructed heuristically, so some workbooks may need manual cleanup.
Can I convert multiple PDFs at once?
Yes. Each PDF is converted to a separate XLSX workbook and multiple outputs are packaged into one ZIP.
