Extract tables and data from PDF files into editable Excel spreadsheets (XLSX) online for free. Automatically detects rows and columns. No signup needed.
Upload your PDF at tools.arkaserve.com/pdf-to-excel and the tool automatically detects all tables in the document and extracts them into an editable .xlsx file. Download it and open in Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets to edit the data directly — no manual retyping needed. Completely free with no signup or watermark. Works best on PDFs that were originally created digitally (not scanned images).
PDF tables are not true spreadsheet grids — they are text positioned on a page. The extractor maps text positions to rows and columns, so complex layouts (merged cells spanning multiple rows, nested tables, or text that wraps oddly) may not align perfectly. For best results use this on digitally created PDFs with clean, simple table borders. Scanned PDFs with image-only content cannot be extracted without OCR.
Yes, completely free — no account, no email, no watermark, and no limit on pages or file count. All tables across every page are extracted into a single .xlsx file. Students use this to pull exam result tables, lab data, and timetables out of PDF files so they can work with the numbers in Excel or Google Sheets.
