Convert PDF to Excel
Pull the tables out of a PDF into a real spreadsheet. Arthize detects rows and columns and rebuilds them in Excel (XLSX) instead of pasting a wall of text, and it OCRs scanned tables first so the numbers come through.
How to convert PDF to Excel
- 1
Open the convert tool
Sign in and open the Convert tool, then choose Excel (XLSX) as the output.
- 2
Add your PDF
Upload the PDF with the tables. Scanned tables are OCR'd first so the values are real text.
- 3
Convert
Arthize detects the table structure and maps it into rows and columns.
- 4
Download and check
Open the .xlsx and glance over it — clean tables convert nicely; complex merged-cell layouts may want a quick tidy.
Real rows and columns
The converter reconstructs the table structure rather than dumping text, so the data lands in proper cells.
Handles scans
Scanned tables are OCR'd first, so even a photo of a table becomes editable numbers.
Private & free
Conversion runs in your own workspace and the file is deleted afterwards. Free plan, no watermark.
