📊 PDF to Excel

MonkeyPDF is a free online tool that pulls tables and text out of a PDF and turns them into an editable Excel or CSV file. Upload your document, choose an extraction mode, and download a spreadsheet you can work with right away.

A few settings, all handled in your browser:

1. Choose your file. Drag and drop a PDF, or click to browse for one.
2. Pick an extraction mode. Auto Detect (Tables & Text) works for most documents without any manual setup.
3. Pick an output format. Excel (.xlsx) if you want a workbook, or CSV if you need something simpler and more portable.
4. Adjust the extras if needed. Turn each page into its own sheet, or treat the first row of a table as column headers.
5. Convert and download. Your spreadsheet is ready in seconds.

A PDF built from a spreadsheet or a scanned report doesn’t carry the same structure Excel expects — rows and columns have to be reconstructed from where the text visually sits on the page. Auto Detect handles that reconstruction for you and is the right starting point for almost anything: invoices, financial statements, data tables inside a longer report.

The two checkboxes matter more than they look. If your source PDF has one table per page — say, monthly statements bundled into a single file — turning on “each page as a separate sheet” keeps them from getting merged together into one long table. And “detect first row as column headers” saves you the step of manually relabeling columns A, B, C once the file opens in Excel, since it promotes that top row into proper header names instead.

• Financial reports: pulling numbers out of a statement PDF instead of retyping every figure.
• Bank and card statements: getting transactions into a spreadsheet for budgeting or reconciliation.
• Research data: lifting tables out of a published paper or report to analyze further.
• Inventory and price lists: turning a supplier’s PDF catalog into something you can sort and filter.

• Table Extraction: intelligently detects and extracts tables from a PDF instead of dumping everything as raw text.
• CSV & Excel Support: export as Excel (.xlsx) or CSV, whichever fits how you’ll use the data next.
• Multiple Sheets: each page can land on its own sheet in the same Excel workbook.
• 100% Private: conversion happens in your browser — nothing is uploaded anywhere.

Q. Is the PDF to Excel tool free?

Yes — no account, no subscription, and no limit on how many times you use it.

Q. Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. Extraction happens locally in your browser, so your document never leaves your device.

Q. Can I get a CSV instead of an Excel file?

Yes. Choose CSV as the output format if you’d rather have a plain, portable file instead of an .xlsx workbook.

Q. What happens if my PDF has more than one table?

Turn on “each page as a separate sheet” so tables on different pages land on their own sheet in the same workbook instead of merging together.

Q. What’s the largest file I can convert?

[State the real limit here, e.g. “There’s no limit” or “Up to 100 MB per file.”]
