How to use PDF to Excel
- Select the PDF that contains the table.
- Choose Excel (.xlsx) or CSV.
- Click “Convert” and open the file in Excel, Google Sheets or Numbers.
How columns are detected
bopdf looks at where each piece of text sits on the page. Text that lines up vertically on several rows is treated as a column, so a typical bank statement or price list comes out as clean rows and cells. Numbers such as 1,234.50 are stored as real numbers so you can sum them straight away.
Each PDF page becomes its own sheet (or block, for CSV). Merged cells, multi-line cells and rotated text may need a quick tidy-up.
CSV for other apps
CSV is saved as UTF-8 with a byte-order mark, so Excel opens accented and Chinese characters correctly. Use it for importing into accounting tools or databases.
🔒 Your files never leave your device
bopdf processes your documents locally with JavaScript (pdf-lib and Mozilla pdf.js) inside your browser tab. Your PDF is never uploaded, stored or seen by us — you can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the tool keeps working. When you close the tab, everything is gone.
Frequently asked questions
Is PDF to Excel free?
Yes, with no limits or sign-up.
My PDF is scanned — will it work?
Not directly. Use OCR PDF first to recognize the text, then convert.
Are my bank statements safe?
They never leave your browser, so nobody else can see them.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Everything happens in your browser on your own device. Files are never sent over the internet, which makes bopdf suitable for confidential documents.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no fixed limit, but very large files (hundreds of MB) depend on your device memory. On phones, files up to about 100 MB usually work well.
