PDF to CSV

Convert PDF to CSV.

Tables in your PDF — ruled or borderless — become clean CSV rows you can open in Excel, Google Sheets or any import that expects CSV. Amounts like 1,240.50 arrive as real numbers, dates are normalized, and a table that continues across pages is stitched into one file. Scans and photos are read with on-device OCR. Nothing is ever uploaded.

What you get

  • Extracts tabular data from a PDF into plain CSV — the universal format every spreadsheet, database and script can import.
  • Rows and columns are separated by detected structure, so the data lands in fields rather than one long line.
  • Lighter and more portable than an Excel file; choose PDF to Excel when you need typed numbers, multiple sheets or formatting.
  • Processed in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

Questions people ask

CSV or Excel for my PDF table?

CSV is a plain text file — simplest, smallest and importable anywhere, but it holds one table with no formatting or typed cells. Excel keeps multiple tables, number types and styling. Pick CSV when another program will read the data.

Which delimiter is used?

Standard comma-separated values, which spreadsheets and data tools import by default.

Can it handle multi-page tables?

Yes — a table that continues across pages is read in order so the rows stay together in the output.
