Convert PDF to Excel
Get the table out of a PDF and into an Excel sheet you can sort, filter and total. It works best on PDFs made by software, such as bank statements, invoices, price lists and reports. Everything runs in your browser, so your statement is never uploaded.
Everything runs on your device. Nothing you add or type is sent to any server.
How to use it
- 01
Drop your PDF into the box above, or click to choose it.
- 02
Look at the preview of the first rows. Choose one sheet for the whole PDF or one sheet per page.
- 03
Keep Join wrapped lines on if long descriptions run onto a second line, and switch it off if rows get merged wrongly.
- 04
Press Download Excel and check the totals in the sheet before you rely on them.
How the table is rebuilt
A PDF does not store tables, only pieces of text placed on the page. The tool reads where each piece sits, groups pieces on the same line into rows, and finds the columns from the empty vertical gaps between them. Right-aligned amount columns are recognised, so withdrawals, deposits and balances stay in their own columns.
With one sheet for the whole PDF, the column headings and page titles repeated at the top of every page appear only once, giving one continuous list ready for filters and pivot tables.
Numbers you can calculate with
Amounts such as 1,250.50 or 1,00,000.00 become real numbers in Excel and keep their look, so SUM works straight away. Dates such as 01/04/2024 become Excel dates. Cheque and reference numbers with leading zeros, long account numbers of 12 or more digits and phone numbers written with + are kept as text, so nothing is rounded or cut.
Honest limits
Scanned PDFs and photos contain pictures, not text, so there is nothing to read. Use Image to Text (OCR) first. Tables without clear gaps between columns, cells spread over several lines, and pages with two tables side by side may need tidying in Excel. Colours, borders and fonts are not copied, only the content. Always compare the totals with the PDF before using the data for accounts or tax.
Frequently asked questions
Does it work with my bank statement?
If you can select and copy text in the PDF, very likely yes. Statements downloaded from net banking are often text PDFs. A statement that was printed and scanned is an image and needs OCR first.
My password-protected statement will not open. What can I do?
If your statement is protected with a password, remove it with the Unlock PDF tool, using the password you already have, and then convert the unlocked file.
Is my data uploaded?
No. The PDF is read and the Excel file is built on your device. Nothing is sent to any server.
