PDF to Excel Converter — Extract Data from PDFs
PDFs lock your data in. When you need to work with figures from a report, invoice, or statement in a spreadsheet, our free PDF to Excel converter extracts the text and table-like data from your PDF and rebuilds it as an .xlsx workbook — row by row, cell by cell.
Like every tool on MultiWeb, the conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your PDF is never uploaded to a server, making this converter safe for bank statements, contracts, and other private documents.
Please note: PDF files store text without table structure, so column boundaries are detected automatically and may need minor cleanup for very complex layouts. For documents without selectable text (for example, scanned pages), nothing can be extracted — we'll let you know if that's the case. Going the other way? Try our Excel to PDF converter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — completely free, with no limits, no sign-up, and no watermarks.
No. The conversion happens entirely in your browser. Your file's contents never leave your device.
PDFs don't store table structure, so the converter detects columns by the gaps between text positions. This works well for most generated PDFs, but very complex or multi-column layouts may need some cleanup in Excel.
Scanned PDFs are images, so their text isn't selectable and can't be extracted without OCR, which isn't available in a purely in-browser tool. The converter will warn you if no text is found.
The practical limit is 20 MB per file.
