## Answer

Drop a text-based PDF into the tool below and export a spreadsheet. Scanned tables need OCR first. Layout is best-effort — not a perfect grid reconstruction.

## Limits

- Complex multi-column tables may misalign.
- Scans without a text layer need OCR first.

## FAQ

### How do I convert a scanned table to Excel?

Run OCR PDF first, then PDF to Excel. Proofread numbers afterward.

### Does PDF to Excel upload my file?

No. Export runs in your browser.

### Is it free?

Yes — free, no account, no watermark.
