About PDF to Excel

PDF to Excel reads the text in a PDF, works out where the columns sit from the position of every word, and builds a spreadsheet you can open in Excel, LibreOffice or Google Sheets. Each page becomes its own sheet by default, and you can output .xlsx or CSV. The conversion runs in your browser, so financial documents are never uploaded.

How to use PDF to Excel

  1. Load a text-based PDF such as a bank statement, invoice or report.
  2. Set the output to Excel (.xlsx) for separate sheets, or to CSV for a single flat file.
  3. Tick Put all pages in one sheet when a table continues across pages and you want one list.
  4. Click Convert to Excel, check the preview table below, then download the file.

What people use it for

  • Turning a downloaded bank statement into a sheet for reconciliation or a Tally import.
  • Getting GST invoice line items into Excel instead of retyping them.
  • Converting a share or mutual fund portfolio statement into a working spreadsheet.
  • Pulling a supplier's price list out of a PDF into a comparison sheet.

Good to know

Only text-based PDFs work. A scanned statement produces nothing and the tool will tell you to use OCR instead. Columns are inferred from word positions, so merged cells, wrapped addresses and multi-line rows may need tidying. Values that look numeric are written as real numbers, so totals calculate straight away.

Frequently asked questions

My scanned statement gave an error. Why?
A scan has no text layer to read. Convert the pages with PDF to JPG and use the Image to Excel OCR tool, which recognises characters from the picture instead.
Will the table come out perfectly formatted?
Usually close, but not guaranteed. Column boundaries are guessed from where words sit on the page, so wrapped text and merged headers often need a few minutes of cleaning.
Should I pick .xlsx or CSV?
Pick .xlsx to keep pages as separate sheets with numbers typed correctly. Pick CSV when another system, such as accounting software, expects a plain comma-separated import.
Is my bank statement uploaded anywhere?
No. Parsing and the spreadsheet build both happen inside your browser, so account numbers and balances never leave your device and vanish when the tab closes.
