Frequently asked questions

How well does it handle my tables?

Cleanly-formatted digital PDFs convert well — rows and columns land in cells. Scanned documents and heavily-merged layouts are reconstructed by guesswork, so expect to tidy the result. Scans need OCR first; there's no text in them to extract.

Is PDF to Excel free to use?

Yes — PDF to Excel is free to use. It runs on our servers, so the Free plan includes a daily allowance; Premium removes the limits and raises the file-size cap.

Are my files uploaded or stored anywhere?

Your file is sent over an encrypted connection, processed, and automatically deleted from our servers shortly after — typically within an hour. We never read, share or keep your documents.

Do I need to install anything or create an account?

Nothing to install — everything happens online. You'll need a free account so we can queue your job and keep your result private to you.

How do I use PDF to Excel?

Open the tool, add your file, adjust any options, then press “Convert to Excel”. Your result is ready to download in seconds.
