Your file is uploaded to our server for extraction and deleted right after — it is never stored.
How to use PDF to Excel
- Upload a PDF up to 15 MB. Any tabular PDF works — financial reports, price lists, inventory, product catalogs, research papers with data tables.
- Click Extract tables. Our AI reads every page, identifies each table, and returns them as structured data.
- Review the preview on the page. Each table shows up to 20 rows — the full data is in the downloads.
- Download as XLSX (one sheet per table, sheet names auto-generated), CSV (first table only), or JSON (all tables, developer-friendly).
Common use cases
- Annual report analysis. 10-K, 10-Q and earnings reports have dozens of tables buried in 100+ pages. Extract them to Excel to run your own analysis without manual retyping.
- Price list conversion. Vendor PDF price lists become CSV imports for your e-commerce catalog or ERP. Multi-column tables with SKUs, MOQ, tiered pricing all preserved.
- Research data. Academic papers publish data as PDF tables. Extract straight into a spreadsheet for meta-analysis or your own charts.
- Financial statements. Balance sheets, income statements, cash flow — every table becomes its own Excel sheet, ready to feed a financial model.
- Product catalog import. Manufacturer catalogs shipped as PDF? Extract to CSV, map columns to your Shopify / WooCommerce / Amazon feed.
Tips
- Digital PDFs (native text) give the cleanest results. Scanned PDFs work via vision but with lower accuracy on small text.
- Multi-page tables are auto-stitched — you get one clean sheet instead of split fragments.
- For very large PDFs (50+ pages), split first with our Split PDF tool and process in chunks.
- The AI names sheets based on table content ('Q3 Revenue', 'Employee List') — you can rename in Excel.
Troubleshooting
- AI missed a table.
- Tables with unusual borders or heavy formatting can be skipped. Re-upload with a clearer version or select just the relevant pages.
- Merged cells got flattened.
- AI flattens multi-row headers into single-row Excel-compatible headers. This is intentional — sortable/filterable in Excel.
- Numbers came in as text.
- The AI preserves original formatting. Convert columns to numbers in Excel with Data → Text to Columns.
Frequently asked questions
- Is my PDF stored anywhere?
- No. Zero-retention on our server and on Anthropic's API. PDF is processed and immediately discarded.
- Does it work with scanned PDFs?
- Partially. Claude's vision reads scanned tables but accuracy is lower than digital PDFs. For scanned bank statements specifically, use the dedicated Bank Statement → Excel tool.
- How many tables can it extract at once?
- No hard limit. We've tested with 30+ tables in a single 50-page PDF. Very complex documents may take 30-60 seconds.
- Can I import into Google Sheets?
- Yes. Download the XLSX or CSV — Google Sheets opens both natively, one sheet per table.
- What about really wide tables (30+ columns)?
- Handled. Wide tables render as Excel sheets with all columns preserved. Excel supports up to 16,384 columns.
