How to convert PDF to Excel

  1. Choose the PDF

    Select or drop a PDF with tables.

  2. Pick a layout

    One sheet per page, or all pages in one sheet.

  3. Convert

    Press Convert to Excel and open the .xlsx.

Everyday uses

  • Bank statements – sort and total transactions for accounts or ITR.
  • Invoices and price lists – reuse item tables.
  • Reports – analyse numbers from published PDF reports.
  • Results and lists – turn PDF lists into sortable sheets.

Good to know

Text is grouped into rows by line and into columns by alignment. Amounts like 1,23,456.78 (Indian format) and 123,456.78 become numbers, so formulas work.

Works best with digital PDFs. For scanned statements, run OCR PDF first.

Private by design. PDF to Excel works inside your browser. Your file is processed on your device and is not uploaded to our server.

Limits to know before you start

  • Works on PDFs with real text. Scanned statements need OCR PDF first.
  • Rows and columns are worked out from text positions; a table with merged cells or text that wraps inside cells may need tidying.
  • Pictures and charts are not copied.
  • In CSV files, text that starts with =, + or @ gets a leading apostrophe so spreadsheet apps show it as text instead of running it as a formula.
  • Always check the result against the PDF (row count, totals and closing balance) before you use it for accounts, tax or a loan application.

If something goes wrong

The result is empty or has pictures instead of text. The PDF is a scan (a photo of pages) and has no text layer. Run OCR PDF first, or turn on the OCR option where the tool offers it.

The tool asks for a password. The PDF is protected. Type the password you normally use to open it; it is used only in your browser. The new file is not locked.

Columns are shifted. Try “One sheet per page”, then tidy the few rows that moved.

PDF to Excel – questions

How do I convert a bank statement PDF to Excel?

Select the statement and choose “All pages in one sheet” so every transaction is in one table. Password-protected statements will ask for the password.

Are numbers converted as numbers?

Yes. Amounts with commas, minus signs and Dr/Cr markers are read as numbers.

Does it work with scanned PDFs?

Run OCR PDF first, then convert the searchable PDF.

Can I save the table as CSV?

Yes. Under “Save as”, choose CSV (.csv). Each sheet becomes its own .csv file (several files arrive together in a ZIP), and amounts are written as plain numbers without thousands separators.
