PDF to Excel
Guidance for getting PDF tables into a spreadsheet.
What Pdflify can and cannot do here
Turning PDF tables back into spreadsheet cells requires table-structure detection that is not practical in a static browser tool. These routes give you accurate data instead of a guess.
1. Extract the text first
Use /tools/pdf-to-txt/ to get the raw text, then paste into Excel and use Data → Text to Columns.
2. Copy tables directly
Open the PDF in a reader, select the table, copy, then use Paste Special in Excel.
3. Use Excel's Get Data
Excel for Microsoft 365 can import from PDF via Data → Get Data → From File → From PDF.
Frequently asked questions
Is PDF to Excel free to use?
Yes. Every tool on Pdflify is free and needs no account.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. This tool reads and rewrites your file inside your browser tab using JavaScript, so the document itself never leaves your device.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. The workspace is responsive and works with touch, though very large files depend on your device's memory.
What if my PDF is password protected?
Encrypted files cannot be opened in the browser. Open the file with its password in your PDF reader, save an unprotected copy, then try again.
