Three steps — nothing to install, no account needed, no payment.

Pick .xlsx or .csv
Choose .xlsx for a full Excel workbook with numeric cells and one worksheet per page, or .csv for a lightweight text file. Toggle 'Combine pages' to merge all pages into a single sheet.

Frequently asked questions
Is this PDF to Excel tool really free?
Yes. There is no trial period, no freemium tier, no watermark, and no cap on the number of files you convert. You can use the tool as many times as you want, today and tomorrow, without creating an account.
Why is it free when other converters charge?
Most PDF-to-Excel services run the conversion on their servers, which costs them bandwidth and compute. This tool runs entirely in your browser using pdf.js, so there is no server cost to pass on. The site is supported by ads, not subscriptions.
Do I need to sign up or give my email?
No. There is no account, no email prompt, and no login wall. Open the page, drop a PDF, and download the spreadsheet. That is the entire flow.
Are there any hidden limits on the free version?
There is no paid version — this is the only version. The practical limits are 20 PDFs per batch, 50 MB per file, and 300 pages per file. Within those bounds, you can convert as often as you like.
Does the free converter upload my files?
No. The PDF never leaves your device. Parsing, column detection, and spreadsheet assembly all happen in your browser tab. That means no upload wait, no privacy risk, and no file-size throttling.
Does the free tool keep numbers as numbers?
Yes. Values like $1,234.50, 20%, European decimals like 12 345,67 and accounting negatives like (45.00) become real numeric cells. Codes with leading zeros, such as 007, stay as text so they are not corrupted.
Can this free tool handle large or multi-page PDFs?
Yes. Each page becomes its own worksheet in the .xlsx output. If you prefer a single table, enable 'Combine pages into one sheet.' Because processing is local, there is no server timeout — a 200-page PDF just takes a few extra seconds.
Does the free converter work on mobile?
Yes. It runs in any modern browser — Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge — on any device: Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, iPad, or Android. There is nothing to install.
Why this converter is free
Traditional PDF-to-Excel services upload your file, process it on a remote server, and send back the result. That server infrastructure costs money, which gets passed on as a subscription or per-file fee. This tool takes a different approach.
The entire conversion — PDF parsing via pdf.js, column detection from whitespace corridors, and .xlsx/.csv assembly — runs inside your browser tab. There is no server to maintain, no bandwidth to pay for, and no compute cost per conversion. That is why the tool can be free without a catch.
The browser-first architecture also means your files stay private by default. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored, and the tool works even after you go offline.
What free PDF to Excel tools usually lack
Many “free” converters limit you to a handful of pages, add watermarks, or require a signup that quietly starts a trial. Others throttle file size or queue your conversion behind paying users.
This tool has none of those restrictions. You get the same batch limit, the same output quality, and the same speed every time. The only thing it cannot do is OCR — if your PDF is a scanned image with no text layer, you need OCR software first. The tool detects this and tells you rather than handing back an empty spreadsheet.
