Extract text and tables from a PDF into an .xlsx spreadsheet, one sheet per page.

Each PDF page becomes a sheet in the workbook. Columns are detected from wide gaps between blocks of text — this works well for simple tables with well-spaced columns; very irregular layouts may not split the columns correctly.

Frequently asked questions

Are tables always perfectly aligned in columns?

Detection is based on how the text is aligned on the page, which works well in most cases, but tables without clear alignment or with cells spanning several rows may need some manual tweaking in Excel afterwards.

What if the PDF has no tables, just running text?

The text is still extracted into the spreadsheet, organized by line as best as possible — for more faithful results with specific tables, the "Extract tables" tool usually gives a more accurate result.

Can I convert just some of the pages?

Yes, you can choose the page range to convert instead of the whole document.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. All processing happens inside your own browser — the file never leaves your computer or passes through any external server. You can confirm this by disconnecting from the internet once the page has loaded: the tool keeps working normally.

Do I need to create an account or pay anything?

No. PDFsy doesn't ask for sign-up, an account or payment — just open the page and use the tool.

Is PDFsy an alternative to iLovePDF?

Yes. PDFsy offers PDF tools equivalent to iLovePDF's — merge, convert, compress, protect and much more — available in 25 languages, with no usage limits, no need to create an account, and 100% local processing in your browser, without uploading any file to any server.
