About PDF to Excel

Turn PDF tables into real, editable spreadsheets. Our table detector reads the position of every text object on the page using PDF.js, groups items into rows and columns, then exports a proper .xlsx workbook (one sheet per page) or a plain CSV. Everything runs locally — your document never leaves your device.

Table Detection

Smart positional analysis of text objects detects row and column structure, so invoices, statements, and reports convert cleanly.

Editable Output

Download a real .xlsx workbook that opens in Excel, Google Sheets, and LibreOffice — every cell is fully editable.

Instant Download

No queues, no email. Extract and download your spreadsheet in seconds, entirely on your own device.

100% Private

Your PDF never leaves your browser. No upload, no server, no signup — your data stays yours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this PDF tool really free?▼

Yes. Every PDF tool on iluv.tools is completely free. No signup, no account, no payment. Everything runs in your browser.

Are my PDF files uploaded to a server?▼

No. All PDF processing happens locally in your browser using the pdf-lib, PDF.js, and SheetJS libraries. Your files never leave your device.

Does PDF to Excel work with scanned PDFs?▼

This tool extracts text-based tables, so it works best on digital PDFs (exported from Word, Excel, or accounting software). For scanned or image-based PDFs, run the document through our PDF OCR tool first to create a text layer, then convert to Excel.

Is there a file size limit?▼

Browser-based tools handle files up to ~100MB smoothly. Larger files may be slower depending on your device. For very large PDFs, try splitting them first, processing the parts, then merging.

Can I use these on mobile?▼

Yes. All PDF tools work on mobile browsers (iOS Safari, Android Chrome). Desktop is recommended for large files, but everything is functional on mobile.
