Convert PDF to Excel online

Extract selectable text from one PDF into a CSV file that opens in Excel. The conversion happens in your browser, so your document stays on your device.

Choose one PDF up to 50 MiB and 50 pages. The file is read in your browser and is not uploaded or saved.

PDF to Excel questions

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. The selected file is read by your browser. Firm Beacon does not receive or save the PDF through this tool. Normal page requests and anonymous website analytics still occur when you visit the site.

Is the result an XLSX workbook?

No. The download is a UTF-8 CSV file with a page column. Excel opens CSV files directly, and you can save the reviewed result as an XLSX workbook from Excel.

Will it rebuild a complex table?

It makes a best-effort CSV from selectable text positions and may detect simple visual columns. It does not promise accurate table boundaries, formulas, merged cells, images or exact formatting. Scanned PDFs need OCR first.

Do I need an account?

No. The tool works without an account or email address.
