How accurate is the conversion?

It's very good on PDFs with clearly ruled tables, where rows and columns map directly into cells. Complex or borderless layouts may need some cleanup, and if no tables are detected the page text is returned line by line.

Can it convert a scanned PDF?

Not directly — a scanned PDF is an image, so there's no table data to extract. You'd need to OCR it into a text PDF first.

What happens to my file?

It's processed on a secure server and deleted immediately after conversion; the result is also removed automatically after a short period.

Convert PDF to Excel

Pull the tables out of a PDF and into an editable Excel spreadsheet. Each detected table becomes a worksheet. Works best on PDFs with clearly ruled tables; image-only (scanned) PDFs need OCR first. Conversion runs on a secure server and your files are deleted automatically right after processing.
