1. 1

   Upload your PDF

   Drop in the document. Scanned uploads are flagged right away — there is no text layer to pull into cells.

2. 2

   Choose the mode

   Keep style and layout is for documents with text paragraphs and table data — the default. Optimized for tables is for pre-cropped documents holding only table data; it opens a second step where tables can be forced into a single spreadsheet and the output can be Excel or plain CSV.

   
3. 3

   Download the spreadsheet

   The ready page hands back a real workbook — 5.8 KB for our test — with the document's text sitting in cells you can sort, calculate and format.

   

• Layout, kept

  For documents with text paragraphs and table data — positions preserved.

• Optimized for tables

  For pre-cropped sheets of pure table data.

• Excel or CSV

  Tables mode offers both — a workbook or a plain CSV file.

• One sheet or many

  Tables go to separate sheets by default; force them into one with a tick.

• Cells, not pictures

  Text lands in real cells you can sort, calculate and format.

• Private by default

  No account, no watermark — and every file is automatically deleted after 2 hours.
