How do I convert a PDF file to EXCEL using LetsConvert?

Upload your PDF, choose EXCEL as the output format, and click Convert. The tool extracts tables and text from every page, then generates an .xlsx file with the same row/column structure. Download the result directly from your browser.

Why should I convert a PDF to an EXCEL spreadsheet?

PDFs are for static viewing, while EXCEL lets you edit, calculate, and analyze data. Converting brings the information into cells, making it easy to apply formulas, sort, filter, or create charts. It also reduces file size because repeated styling and layout data are replaced by simple cell formats.

How does the converter handle complex PDF elements like merged cells, formulas, or scanned images?

The converter maps vector text and table lines to Excel cells, preserving merged cells, multiline text, font styles, and column widths. It does not reconstruct formulas—it exports the static values instead. For scanned PDFs, OCR must be enabled to recognize text; without OCR, images are placed as image objects.

Yes, PDF-TO-EXCEL on LetsConvert is 100% free with no registration or hidden fees required.

Does this converter work on mobile phones and tablets?

Yes! PDF-TO-EXCEL works seamlessly across iPhone, Android, iPad, Mac, Windows, and Linux browsers without installing any app.

Is there any software installation required?

No software or browser extension installation is needed. All conversions are performed directly online.
