Pull tables out of a PDF into Excel.
For working with PDF tables in Excel — budgets, invoices, anything with rows and columns.
For PDFs that were printed from a spreadsheet or exported from a database — invoice line items, bank statements, expense reports, anything with rows and columns. We detect the table boundaries and drop each one into its own sheet. Pages without a table become rows of text on a fallback sheet. Useful when you need the numbers in a workbook so you can sum, filter, or pivot them.

Three steps.
- 01Drop your PDF or click to choose.
- 02We convert it to XLSX on the worker — fast and exact.
- 03Download the result. We delete everything in an hour.
- Is my file secure?
- We never read your file. Conversion runs in an isolated container, and we delete the upload and the result within an hour.
- What's the file size limit?
- 50MB on Free · 200MB on Pro · 500MB on Max.
- What if my PDF is too large to email?
- Run the free PDF size check first — we’ll tell you whether your file fits in Gmail, Outlook, or Apple Mail, and which DocShop tool will get it there. The check runs in your browser; the file never leaves your device.
- Will all my tables be detected?
- Tables with clear row/column structure are detected reliably — invoices, bank statements, expense reports, financial summaries. Tables with merged cells, irregular headers, or no visible grid lines are sometimes not detected and become rows of text on the fallback sheet.
- Can I convert one specific page?
- Yes — use Split PDF first to extract just the page you need, then run PDF to Excel on the result. Useful when one table is buried in a 50-page document and you only need that table.
- Are the numbers correct?
- Number values come through exactly as they appear in the PDF, with the same decimal precision. Currency symbols and thousand separators are preserved as part of the cell value. Formulas in the source PDF are evaluated to their result.
- What if a page has no table?
- Pages without a detected table become rows of text on a fallback sheet (named "Text"). Each row contains the page number, then the page text. Useful when you want both tables and surrounding context in the same workbook.
- Will formatting be preserved?
- Layouts, fonts, and images come through cleanly. For signed contracts or anything going to a client, open the result once before sending — automated conversion is reliable but not perfect.
