Convert PDF to Excel

Drop in a text-based PDF and pull its tables into an editable Excel (.xlsx) file, right here. Everything happens in your browser, your file is never uploaded, so it is safe for confidential schedules, BOQs and cost plans. It reads the text and its position on the page, then lines the words up into rows and columns. It works best on clean, digitally generated tables (a quantity schedule, a door list, a price breakdown). Scanned pages and heavily merged cells are harder, see the notes below. No signup, no email, no watermark.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does my PDF get uploaded?
No. The PDF is read and the spreadsheet is built entirely in your browser, on your own device. Your file is never sent to a server, never stored, and never seen by us. Safe for confidential cost plans, schedules and NDA work.
What kind of PDFs does this work best on?
Clean, text-based tables that were exported from software (a quantity schedule, a door or window list, a price breakdown). It reads the real text and its position, then groups it into rows and columns. Scanned pages (images of a table) have no text to read, and tables with lots of merged or nested cells can come out misaligned. For those, export the table from the source program if you can, then run it here.
Can I edit the result?
Yes. You get a real .xlsx file you can open in Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice or Numbers and edit like any spreadsheet. Cell positions are a best effort from the page layout, so give the columns a quick check and nudge anything that landed a column off.
Is it free, with no watermark?
Free, no signup, no email, and no watermark. A small thank-you tool from the team behind Ncored, the fast desktop PDF app for heavy AutoCAD, Revit, and ArchiCAD drawings.
