How to pull table data from a PDF here

  1. Upload the PDF using the box above. You’ll see the filename queued.
  2. Wait a moment while GPT‑5 vision reads each page and finds tables.
  3. Download the .xlsx file when the button appears.
  4. Open it in Excel (or import to Google Sheets) and check totals, column headers, and number formats.

Will this work on scanned PDFs and phone photos?

Yes. Scanned pages and camera images go through the same pipeline—no extra OCR step to enable. If the photo is skewed, low‑resolution, or glarey, accuracy may drop, but clear scans typically convert well. For more on scans, see our OCR Online for Tables.

This tool extracts tables into an editable grid. It won’t carry over fonts, colors, logos, images, charts, page headers/footers, or formulas. If you need a broader explanation of what we extract, read the PDF extractor for tables to Excel.

Need CSV or another spreadsheet app?

If you specifically need a CSV, convert here first, then export from Excel/Sheets; step‑by‑step is in our PDF to CSV Online guide. The .xlsx you download also opens directly in Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc, and Apple Numbers.
