PDF to Excel: free online, fast and secure
Retyping numbers from a PDF into Excel is slow and error-prone. This converter reads the text on each page, groups it into rows, and splits columns wherever there is a clear gap, which matches how most invoices, price lists and bank statements are laid out.
Numbers become real numbers in Excel, so you can sum and sort them right away. Choose one sheet per page or all pages in one sheet.
How to use PDF to Excel
- Upload the PDF. Choose a text-based PDF with tables or lists.
- Choose sheet layout. One sheet per page, or everything in one sheet.
- Download XLSX. Open in Excel or Google Sheets and tidy columns if needed.

Good to know
PDF (Portable Document Format) was designed so a document looks the same on every device and printer. That reliability is why banks, courts, universities and government offices prefer it. A PDF can contain real text, vector graphics and images, and it can be protected with a password or signed. PDF to Excel works directly with the PDF structure in your browser, so pages keep their original quality unless you choose an option that converts them to images.

How PDF to Excel keeps your PDF documents private
Most online converters upload your file to their server, process it there and send it back. That costs time, uses your data pack and means a copy of your file sits on someone else’s computer. PDF to Excel works differently: the page loads the tool into your browser, and your PDF documents are processed by your own phone or computer. The file never travels over the internet, so it cannot be leaked, stored or misused.
Using PDF to Excel on your phone
PDF to Excel is designed for small screens. Buttons are large, options are simple, and downloads save directly to your phone storage. On iPhone, downloaded files appear in the Files app under Downloads; on Android they go to the Downloads folder.
