Frequently Asked Questions

Can I convert PDF tables to Excel for free?

Yes. Extract tables from any PDF and export as an editable .xlsx file. The tool detects table structures automatically. Free, no upload, no watermark.

How accurate is table detection?

Table detection works best on PDFs with clear borders or consistent column spacing. Simple tables (headers plus data rows) are detected with 95%+ accuracy. Merged cells and nested tables may need manual adjustment.

Can I extract data from scanned PDFs?

Yes. For scanned PDFs, OCR runs first to recognize text, then table detection extracts the structured data. OCR accuracy depends on scan quality.

Does conversion run locally?

Yes. All processing happens in your browser via WebAssembly. Your PDF never leaves your device.

Is there a page limit for PDF to Excel conversion?

No page limit. The tool handles multi-page table extraction efficiently, with each page becoming a separate sheet or continuing the same table.
