How to use the PDF to Excel converter

  1. Choose the PDF

    Pick a PDF with tables, such as a bank statement or invoice. The tool checks that it has selectable text.

  2. Unlock it if needed

    Bank statements are often password-protected; type the password to open it in your browser.

  3. Pick pages and layout

    Convert all pages or a range, as one sheet per page or one long sheet. Keep number conversion on to total columns.

  4. Convert to Excel

    Press Convert to Excel and download the .xlsx file.

  5. Check the columns

    Open it in Excel, Google Sheets or Numbers and check merged headings and wrapped cells.

What is a PDF to Excel converter?

Bank statements, invoices, price lists and reports often arrive as PDFs, but you need the numbers in a spreadsheet to sort, total or check them. This converter pulls the tables out of a PDF into an Excel workbook (.xlsx) you can open in Excel, Google Sheets or Numbers.

It reads the position of every piece of text on the page in your browser. Each line is cut into cells where the gap between words is wider than a normal space, then the cells of all table-like lines on the page are lined up: the empty vertical strips between them become the column boundaries, so right-aligned amounts and left-aligned names land in the right columns. Amounts such as 1,234.50, 12,34,567, (500), 12% and ₹ 4,500 are stored as real numbers with matching number formats, while IDs with leading zeros and phone numbers stay as text. You get one sheet per page, or all pages in one sheet for a long table.

Honest limits: the tool needs a PDF with selectable text; a scanned statement is an image and needs OCR first. Merged header cells, cell colours and borders aren't kept, and a cell that spans two columns in the PDF lands in one of them. Text outside tables goes into column A.

Why use a PDF to Excel converter?

Copying a table out of a PDF usually pastes everything into one column, and retyping a statement invites mistakes. Detecting columns from the layout gets you a usable spreadsheet in seconds. Bank statements and invoices are exactly the files you shouldn't upload to an unknown server, and here they never leave your device.

PDF to Excel converter: frequently asked questions

Something else? Ask the team

Can I convert a bank statement PDF to Excel safely?

Yes. The statement is read and the spreadsheet is written in your browser, so the PDF isn't uploaded to AI Rank Lab or anyone else. If the statement has a password (many Indian banks use your date of birth or customer ID), enter it in the tool; it stays in your browser tab.

Why are some columns merged or shifted?

The tool works out columns from the gaps between text. When a long value in one row reaches into the next column's space, or a heading spans several columns, those columns can merge. Converting fewer pages at a time, or one sheet per page, keeps different table layouts apart.

Will numbers work in formulas?

Yes, with number conversion on. Values such as 1,234.50, 12,34,567.00, (1,200) and 15% are stored as numbers with a matching format, so SUM and other formulas work. Text that only looks like a number, such as 007 or +91 98765 43210, stays as text.

Does it work with scanned PDFs?

No. A scan is a picture with no text layer, so there is nothing to extract. The tool tells you before you start, and won't spend your run on it. Run the PDF through OCR first, then convert the result.

Can I use it on a phone?

Yes. Open the page in Safari or Chrome on your phone, choose the PDF and download the .xlsx, then open it in the Excel, Google Sheets or Numbers app.

Can I get one sheet for all pages?

Yes. Choose "All pages in one sheet" to stack every page's rows in one worksheet, with an empty row between pages. That suits a statement whose table runs across many pages.

Does it keep colours and borders?

No. The spreadsheet holds the values in the right rows and columns, with number formats and sized columns, but not the PDF's colours, fonts or borders.
