Frequently asked questions

How accurate is the table extraction?

PDFs with clear table borders and structured layouts convert best. Text-heavy tables with defined columns work well. Scanned PDFs or complex multi-column designs will need manual cleanup after conversion.

Can I open the file in Google Sheets?

The output is a standard .xlsx file. Upload it to Google Drive and open with Google Sheets, or open it directly in Excel or LibreOffice Calc.

What if my PDF has no tables, just text?

LibreOffice will still extract the content, but you'll get a spreadsheet of raw text rather than structured rows and 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 one conversion per day; free accounts get 10.

Is there a file size limit?

50 MB per file.

Does it work on mobile?

Works in any browser. Upload from your phone, download the .xlsx, and open it in the Sheets or Excel app.

Is my file safe?

Your file is processed in memory and deleted the moment your download starts. Nothing is stored.
