Will my rows and columns line up correctly in Excel?

Clear, gridded tables carry over well. Faint lines, merged cells and handwritten entries reduce structural accuracy — review the layout after conversion.

Can it read numbers reliably?

Mostly, on clean scans — but digit misreads happen. Verify totals against the source before using the data.

What about a table in a digital (not scanned) PDF?

Use PDF Table to Excel — it extracts the actual embedded data without OCR, which is more precise.

Is this part of the free OCR?

Yes — free for everyone including guests, within per-plan limits.

Scanned Table to Excel

A table trapped in a scan — a price list, a register, a report page — becomes a real, calculable Excel spreadsheet. OCR recognizes both the characters and the grid. Free for everyone, within per-plan limits.

Recognizing structure, not just letters

Table OCR is double recognition: the characters in each cell, and the row/column grid that gives them meaning. Clear gridlines and clean scans preserve the structure best; faint lines and merged cells are the hard cases.

From paper numbers to working numbers

Once in Excel, the data actually works: totals sum, columns sort, formulas apply. Retyping a 40-row table risks silent typos in exactly the numbers that matter — recognition plus verification is faster and safer.

Always verify against the source

OCR can misread digits (8/3, 6/5 confusions are classics). Spot-check totals and key figures against the original scan before the data drives a decision. Files are processed temporarily and deleted automatically — there is no general cloud storage.
