Sample output

A preview of the structured result PDF to Excel produces — not a live extraction of your file.

Example table extracted from a PDF into spreadsheet columns.

Item	Qty	Unit price	Amount
Widget A	10	12.00	120.00
Cable 2m	25	4.50	112.50
Bracket	8	9.00	72.00

Doing this at scale? PerfectParser automates it.

One PDF is a sample. A parser handles the pack.

Save a parser to extract the same table layout across a folder of PDFs, instead of converting one file at a time.

What is PDF to Excel?

A PDF stores text as positioned fragments, not spreadsheet rows. Copy-paste into Excel merges cells and drops structure when layouts wrap or span columns. This tool detects tabular regions and exports each table to its own sheet. It extracts grids, not named fields.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the PDF to Excel.

Is PDF to Excel free?

You get three lifetime samples with no account (1 MB / 3 pages). After that, sign in. New uploads use PerfectParser credits — one credit per page.

Does this extract every table in the PDF?

Each detected table exports to its own sheet in the workbook. Signed-in runs use the full extraction engine on larger files within your credit balance.

Is this the same as a browser-only PDF to Excel tool?

No. Browser-only converters cluster text positions locally and work best on simple layouts. PerfectParser uses AI table detection on the file you upload. Bulk runs use a saved parser in your account.

How is this different from PDF to text?

Text is unstructured. Excel is extraction: you want columns. That is why Excel uses credits after the tease and text does not.

When should I use Invoice to Excel instead?

Use this page for raw tables in a PDF. Use Invoice to Excel when you want a named invoice schema: vendor, invoice number, dates, tax, totals, and line items mapped to fields.
