How to convert a PDF to Excel

  1. Drop your PDF into the box above.
  2. Choose one sheet per page, or all pages on one sheet.
  3. Press Convert to Excel and open the .xlsx file in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets.

PaperSwoop reads where each piece of text sits on the page and rebuilds the rows and columns from that. Amounts like $1,245.00 or 12% become real numbers. This basic converter works best on simple tables with clear columns. Merged cells and complicated layouts may need tidying.

Questions

Will my table come out perfectly?

Simple tables with clear columns usually come out well. Tables with merged cells, text that wraps inside cells, or several tables side by side may need some tidying in Excel.

Does it work on scanned PDFs?

Not directly, because scanned pages are pictures. Run the file through OCR PDF first to add text, then convert it.

How many pages can I convert?

The free version converts PDFs up to 20 pages. Premium has no page limit.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. PaperSwoop reads your files with your browser and builds the result on your device. You can even turn off your internet after the page loads and it still works.
