Best with digital PDFs that contain real tables (bank statements, invoices, reports).
Frequently asked questions
How does the table detection work?
It reads the text positions inside your PDF and groups words into rows and columns by their coordinates — a rule-based approach that works well on clean digital tables like bank statements, invoices, and reports. Always review the preview grid before downloading; cells are editable with one click.
Will it work on scanned PDFs or photos?
No — scanned or image-based PDFs contain no selectable text, so there is nothing to extract. Convert those with an OCR tool first (coming soon to FreeTools Hub), then run the result through this converter.
Is it as accurate as Adobe Acrobat?
Honestly, no. Adobe uses proprietary layout AI; this tool uses transparent coordinate rules. For clean tables it's very good — and unlike Smallpdf/iLovePDF there are no 2-tasks-per-day limits and no paywall. For a 200-page statement run, unlimited free beats a daily quota.
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs 100% in your browser with JavaScript (pdf.js + SheetJS). There is no server, so your statements and invoices never leave your device.
What do I get in the Excel file?
A real .xlsx workbook — one sheet per PDF page you selected, with your edits applied. The CSV download contains all pages stacked with a page header row.
Why is it free and unlimited?
Because it costs us nothing to run — all the work happens on your own device, not on our servers. No accounts, no watermarks, no caps.
