Do I need Excel installed to extract tables?

No — extraction runs in the browser; you only need something to open the downloaded file (Excel, Sheets, LibreOffice).

Is the online extraction as good as desktop tools?

For digital PDFs, the cell data read is exact — the same values a desktop extractor reads.

Can I do this from my phone?

Yes — upload, extract and download work in mobile browsers too.

What happens to my uploaded document?

Processed temporarily, deleted automatically — no general cloud storage.

Why use our Extract PDF Tables

Secure & private

Files are encrypted in transit and deleted automatically after processing.

Fast results

Optimized processing returns your file in seconds.

Free to start

Core tools are free with daily limits — no install required.

Works anywhere

Runs in your browser on any device, anywhere in the world.

Online is the practical choice

Desktop extraction means plugins, licenses and a machine that has them. Browser-based extraction works from any computer — the office desktop, a client's laptop, even a phone — with the same result.

Real extraction, not conversion tricks

The tables' cell data is read directly from the PDF's content — values, rows, columns — producing spreadsheet data that calculates, sorts and filters like it never left Excel.

The scan caveat, as always

Digital PDFs extract exactly; scanned ones need free OCR first (Scanned Table to Excel), plus a verification pass on the numbers. Files are processed temporarily and deleted automatically — there is no general cloud storage.
