Frequently asked questions
How accurate is the table extraction?
PDFs with clear table borders and structured layouts convert best. Scanned PDFs or complex multi-column designs will need manual cleanup after conversion.
Can I open the file in Excel or Google Sheets?
Yes. The output is a standard .csv file, openable directly in Excel, Google Sheets, or Numbers.
What if my PDF has multiple tables per page?
Each table is extracted in order, with a blank row separating them in the output CSV.
What if my PDF has no tables, just text?
You'll get one line of text per row instead of structured columns. For plain text, PDF to Text produces a cleaner result.
Can it extract data from a scanned PDF?
No. Scanned PDFs are images, so there's no data layer to extract. Run the PDF through OCR PDF first to create a text layer, then try the conversion.
Do I need to sign up?
No account required. Guests get 3 conversions a day; free accounts get 10.
Is there a file size limit?
50 MB per file.
Is my file safe?
Your file is processed in memory and deleted the moment your download starts. Nothing is stored.
