Text-based PDFs only. Column alignment uses position heuristics — simple tables convert well, complex layouts may need manual cleanup.

What is PDF to Excel?

PDF to Excel extracts text content from PDF pages and organises it into an XLSX spreadsheet. Each page becomes a separate sheet with text items placed in columns based on their horizontal position in the PDF.

How It Works

Drop your PDF. pdfjs-dist extracts every text item along with its X/Y coordinates. Items on the same line are grouped into a row; their X positions are clustered into columns. The result is written to an XLSX file using SheetJS — entirely in your browser.

Key Benefits

  • 100% browser-based — your files never leave your device
  • Each PDF page becomes a separate Excel sheet
  • Text position is used to reconstruct column alignment
  • Works with text-based PDFs (not scanned images)
  • Free — no account or registration needed
