How do I convert PDF to Excel for free?

Open PDF to Excel, drop your PDF, and download an editable XLSX spreadsheet. It is free with no sign-up and no watermark, and it rebuilds the PDF tables as real spreadsheet cells.

Will the formatting and numbers stay accurate?

Text-based PDFs convert with high accuracy, keeping rows and columns aligned. Complex or merged layouts may need a quick review, which is normal for any PDF to Excel converter.

Can I convert a scanned PDF to Excel?

Yes. Scanned PDFs are processed with OCR on a secure server to read the text first, then the data is assembled into an Excel file and the upload is auto-deleted.

Is my financial data kept private?

Files are processed securely, encrypted in transit, and auto-deleted within 30 minutes. We never store or read your spreadsheets, so confidential figures stay private.

Do I need Microsoft Excel installed?

No. The tool outputs a standard XLSX file that opens in Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc, and Numbers. You do not need any software installed to convert.

Is there a file size limit?

The free tier handles everyday PDFs, while Pro and Business plans support larger documents and batch conversion for many files at once.

PDF to Excel is a free online tool that converts the tables in a PDF into an editable Excel (XLSX) spreadsheet in your browser, so you can sort, total, and reuse the data instead of retyping it.

Why convert PDF to Excel

Financial statements, invoices, and reports are often shared as PDF, which locks the numbers in place. Converting PDF to Excel rebuilds the rows and columns as real cells so you can edit, filter, and run formulas. It saves hours of manual data entry and removes the typos that come with it.

How table extraction works

The converter reads the text and layout of each PDF page, detects table boundaries, and maps cells to spreadsheet rows and columns. Clean, text-based PDFs convert most accurately. Scanned PDFs first need OCR, which AllFileBox applies on a secure server before building the spreadsheet.
