Turn PDF tables into editable Excel spreadsheets — free, fast, fully private.
Click to upload PDF or drag & drop
PDF — up to 50 MB
Tip: Text-based PDFs (exported from software) convert instantly. Scanned PDFs trigger OCR — the first time, your browser downloads a small language pack (cached for next time). Got a photo of a table instead? Use Image to Excel.
Your Excel preview will appear here
Drop a PDF containing one or more tables.
Text PDFs use coordinate-based extraction. Scanned PDFs use built-in OCR.
Edit any cell in the preview, then export as XLSX or CSV.
Easy Press Pro's PDF to Excel converter pulls tables out of PDF files and rebuilds them as editable Excel spreadsheets — without ever sending your file to a server. The whole pipeline (PDF parsing, OCR for scans, table detection, XLSX generation) runs directly in your browser, so a bank statement, sales report or invoice never leaves your device.
Whether you need to reuse numbers from an old report, pull line items from an invoice, or convert a multi-page financial PDF into a working spreadsheet, this tool gets you a clean .xlsx in seconds.
"Just turn this PDF into Excel" is one of those tasks that sounds trivial and almost never is. PDFs were built to look identical everywhere, not to be sliced back into rows and columns. Scanned PDFs are even harder because there's no text data at all — just pixels of text inside an image inside a PDF. A good converter has to handle both kinds. Here's how this one works and where its limits are.
Drop a PDF into the upload area. Everything runs in your browser, so the file stays on your device. That matters for financial statements, medical reports, contracts and anything else you would not want to upload to a stranger's server.
The tool first checks whether the PDF is a "real" PDF (selectable text) or a scanned/image-based PDF. Text PDFs are parsed using the document's own coordinates, which is fast and very accurate. Scanned PDFs are run through Tesseract — the same OCR engine that powers a lot of paid tools — recompiled to run inside the browser. You don't have to choose a mode; the tool picks the right approach automatically per page.
Once the words and their positions are known, the tool clusters them into rows (similar vertical position) and columns (similar horizontal position). This is the same technique professional tools like Tabula and Camelot use under the hood. Tables with visible borders, tables that just rely on whitespace, and even multi-column tables on the same page are all supported.
Every detected table appears in an editable preview. Click any cell to fix typos, merge cells, or correct an OCR mistake. The fixes are baked into the downloaded XLSX. This is what makes the result production-ready instead of just "close enough."
Export the final spreadsheet as XLSX (full Excel format, opens in Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc, Numbers, anything) or CSV (universal plain-text format that imports into anything). Multi-page PDFs come out as one workbook with one sheet per page.
Most "free" PDF to Excel sites use the same playbook: you upload your file, they convert it on their server, you download it back. That's fine for a generic test PDF. It's not fine for a payslip, a P&L, a customer list, a medical bill or any document where the contents are sensitive. Easy Press Pro's converter does not have a server pipeline. The PDF parser, the OCR engine and the spreadsheet writer all live in JavaScript running in your browser tab. Nothing is uploaded. Nothing is logged. Nothing is cached on a remote service.
OCR built in. A lot of free tools only handle text PDFs and quietly fail (or charge extra) for scanned PDFs. This tool handles both in one place.
Editable preview. Most converters give you a one-shot output. If a cell is wrong you re-do the whole conversion or open Excel and fix it manually. Here you fix it in the preview and the export reflects your edits.
Genuinely free. No signup, no daily limit, no "convert 2 pages free, pay for the rest" trap, no watermark in the spreadsheet.
Works on any modern device. Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari on desktop or mobile. After the first run the OCR data is cached, so subsequent conversions are quick and work even on a flaky connection.
Honest expectations save frustration. Here is what you can realistically expect from any browser-based PDF to Excel converter, including this one:
The editable preview is there exactly because no OCR-based tool — paid or free — gets every scanned cell 100% correct. You fix the few cells the OCR got wrong before downloading and you're done in seconds instead of retyping the whole table.
Everything you might want to know before you use the tool.
Yes — completely free with no signup, no daily limits, no watermarks and no file caps.
No. The entire conversion runs locally in your browser. Your PDFs never leave your device. You can even disable your internet connection after the page (and OCR data) has loaded once and the tool still works.
Yes. The tool includes Tesseract OCR running directly in the browser, so scanned PDFs are converted alongside native text PDFs. The first time you use OCR, the language pack downloads (~10 MB) and is cached for next time. If you have a standalone image of a table, use our Image to Excel tool instead.
For text-based PDFs with clear tables (bordered or whitespace-separated), accuracy is very high — usually 100% of cells correct. For scanned PDFs, accuracy depends on scan quality. The editable preview is there so you can fix any cell before exporting.
XLSX (full Excel format) or CSV (universal plain-text). Multi-page PDFs are saved as one workbook with each page on its own sheet.
Yes. The tool detects plain numbers, currency values (with $ £ € ¥ ₹) and percentages and writes them as numeric cells, so you can sum, average and pivot directly in Excel without converting from text.
Multi-line cells (where one cell contains multiple lines of text) are detected when possible. Merged cells in the source are exported as their value in the top-left cell with empty cells next to them — you can re-merge them in Excel using Format → Merge Cells.
We recommend files under 50 MB. Larger files take longer to process because everything runs in your browser. For very large PDFs, try splitting them first using our PDF Splitter and converting page ranges separately.
No — password-locked PDFs need to be unlocked first using the password they were protected with. This tool cannot bypass encryption.
Yes. The tool runs on any modern mobile browser. On older or low-RAM devices, OCR on large scanned PDFs may be slow — for those cases, prefer text-based PDFs.
