Use it free in your browser: https://fynepdf.com/tools/pdf-to-excel - Works with scanned PDFs - No watermark on downloads ## Features ### Real Spreadsheet Data Every cell lands in its own cell, and numbers stay numbers for formulas. ### Ask for the Data You Need Describe one month, table or region, and get a sheet with only that. ### PDF Tables to XLSX Download an Excel workbook for sorting, filtering and calculations, instead of retyping PDF tables. ## Three Steps to a Working Spreadsheet Convert a PDF to Excel in three steps, no software to install, no account needed. 1. **Upload your PDF**: Drag and drop your file up to 250MB free, or 15MB with AI conversion. Paid plans support higher limits up to 5GB. 2. **Choose manual or AI**: Convert every table, or describe the data you want and how it should be split across tabs. 3. **Download the Result**: Your Excel file is ready to download immediately and auto-deleted after 15 min. ## Get Your Numbers Out of the Page. PDF tables are hard to sort, filter, or calculate with. Convert them to Excel so the numbers become structured, editable, and ready to work with. - **Analyse Bank Statements**: Turn monthly PDF statements into sortable rows so you can total, filter and categorize transactions. - **Process Invoices**: Pull line items, dates and totals out of supplier invoices without retyping a single figure. - **Rebuild Financial Reports**: Ask AI for one quarter of an annual report and get each section on its own tab, ready to model. - **Digitise Printed Records**: Scanned ledgers, forms and printed tables become editable spreadsheet data through AI conversion. - **Extract Research Data**: Get published tables into a spreadsheet so you can chart, compare and run your own calculations. - **Consolidate Reports**: Convert several PDFs into sheets you can combine, instead of copying figures across by hand. ## Two ways to convert Manual conversion finds every table in your document and rebuilds them as spreadsheet data, handling files up to 250MB. AI conversion reads the document and returns only figures you ask for, one month, one region, one table, organised across tabs however you specify, and it can read scanned pages that manual conversion can't. - **Manual: every table**: Best for large files and complete conversions. Layout, tables and images are rebuilt directly, no interpreting. - **AI: exactly what you ask**: Ask for a date range, a section or a specific table, split across tabs as you need. Reads scanned pages too. - **Which to choose**: Whole document or a large file: manual. Specific figures, a scanned original, or custom tabs: AI. ## Frequently asked questions ### Will my tables convert into proper rows and columns? PDF tables can become spreadsheet rows and columns. Results depend on scan quality and how the table is stored in the PDF. Review amounts, dates, decimal separators, and merged cells after conversion, especially when a table spans several pages, before using formulas or relying on the data. ### What's the difference between manual and AI conversion? Manual conversion extracts every table in the document and handles files up to 250MB on the free plan. AI conversion reads the document and returns only what you describe, a date range, a section, a specific table organised across tabs however you specify, and it can add custom headings. AI also reads scanned pages, which manual conversion can't, but it draws on a shared AI allowance: 15MB a day on the free plan, across all of FynePDF's AI tools. ### Can I extract only specific data instead of every table? Yes, with AI conversion. Describe what you want "only the Q3 figures", "just the June transactions", "the revenue table by region" and the spreadsheet contains only that. You can also say how it should be organised: each month on its own tab, a custom title row, or one combined sheet. This turns a two-hundred-page annual report into the three columns you actually needed. ### Can I convert a scanned PDF or a photo of a table? Yes, using AI conversion, which reads scanned pages as part of the conversion, no separate OCR step. Clean 300 DPI scans convert reliably. Phone photos and faint or skewed printouts produce more errors, particularly with small figures, so check totals against the original before relying on them. Manual conversion can't read scans and will return empty cells. ### Is the PDF to Excel tool free to use online? Yes, with no sign-up required. The free plan includes 5 tasks and 600MB of processing a day across every FynePDF tool, and a conversion is one of them. Manual conversion handles files up to 250MB. AI conversion additionally draws on a shared allowance across all of FynePDF's AI tools, 15MB a day on the free plan, resetting daily at midnight UTC. Since the free per-file AI limit is also 15MB, one full-size AI conversion uses the day's allowance. Professional at $7/month (annual) removes the daily task limit and gives 2.5GB of AI processing a month with files up to 100MB; Premium at $14/month gives 5GB a month with files up to 250MB. ### Is it safe to use PDF to Excel on FynePDF? Are my files secure? File transfers use TLS encryption. Cloud-processed files are automatically deleted within 15 minutes after processing completes, unless you choose to save them to your Library. Documents are not used to train AI models. Read the Privacy Policy for storage and processing details. ### Can I use the PDF to Excel tool on Mac, Windows, or mobile? Yes. FynePDF works directly from your browser, so it works on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android with no installation, and no Microsoft Excel licence. The output opens in Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers or LibreOffice. ### Why did my numbers come through as text? Occasionally figures are stored in a PDF with characters that Excel doesn't read as numeric, non-breaking spaces, unusual minus signs, or currency symbols inside the value. FynePDF converts these where it can. If a column still won't total, select it in Excel and use Data → Text to Columns, which forces re-interpretation, or check for trailing spaces. Values from scanned documents are more prone to this than digitally created ones. ### Can I convert the spreadsheet back to PDF? Yes. [Excel to PDF](https://fynepdf.com/tools/excel-to-pdf) turns your finished spreadsheet into a print-ready PDF once you've made your edits. That's the usual workflow for financial reporting, extract to Excel, do the analysis, convert back to PDF for distribution. --- Open this page in a browser: https://fynepdf.com/tools/pdf-to-excel More: [All tools](https://fynepdf.com/tools) · [AI agents](https://fynepdf.com/ai/agents) · [llms.txt](https://fynepdf.com/llms.txt) · [Sitemap](https://fynepdf.com/sitemap.xml)
